2023 MAJOR SINGLES

Mark Stalling & John Kell

Two Men Standing Next To Each Other On A Green Field Giving A Thumbs Up — Pacific Palms Bowling Club In Smiths Lake, NSW

Saturday 13th May saw the long-awaited final of the Men’s Major Singles take place. Beautiful sunshine and a gentle breeze making its way across the green greeted our two finalists Mark Stalling and John Kell. After 3 ends Mark started to build up a handy lead however John was having none of that, so that by the end of the 10th end scores were locked at 9 all. From that point on however Mark started to apply more pressure and kept building the head with some beautiful bowling. John fought valiantly but Mark eventually won the day 31 to 12.


Congratulations to Mark Stalling on a very inspiring display of bowls. Commiserations to John Kell, who by the way is only in his first year of bowls! Thank you both for a most entertaining game of bowls.

Our club held the much-anticipated final of the club pairs on Sunday 24th of March 2024. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon with a light cooling breeze, fantastic for a good game of lawn bowls. The pairings of Corey Fitzgerald & Mick Ansell were taking on the well-versed pairing Laurie Keene & John Higman. Both teams were up for the challenge and on paper it was looking like it would be a very tight, close game and it did not disappoint. The game was played hard with some incredibly accurate bowling on display from both teams. Corey and Mick came out an attacked the 1st end and by the 8th end were up 10 shots to 2. However, the older heads of Laurie and John were able to rein in that lead and by the 11th end were only one shot behind. The next 10 ends produced some precise bowling especially from Corey and Mick as they were able to hold onto there slender lead. Unfortunately, whilst still plugging away, Laurie and John could not keep up with the young guns of Corey and Mick who eventually ran out winner 25 to 17. At the conclusion of the game, the large crowd that had amassed to watch the final gave the guys a standing ovation for such an enthralling game of bowls. A big congratulation to Corey Fitzgerald and Mick Ansell on being crowned the 2024 Pairs Champions at Pacific Palms Bowling Club. Commiseration to Laurie Keene and John Higman who pushed Corey and Mick all the way to the end.
