A Group Of Men Are Standing Next To Each Other In A Room — Pacific Palms Bowling Club In Smiths Lake, NSW

Under overcast skies our club's first Gala Day of the new bowls season was held with 48 players from across the region competing in the 1-day tournament. The action kicked off at 09:00am with the day consisting of two (2) games of 4's and two (2) games of pairs, each with 12 ends played.


Through the course of the day teams battled each other with some inspiring bowls being played. Due to such great play, the leader board changed consistently throughout the morning and 9into the afternoon. The quality of the bowls on display was fantastic and was a credit t0 all the bowlers.


However, there could only be one (1) team of winners on the day and they were the team made up of Noel James, Daniel Jessop, Stave Swan and Steve Harris who was the skip (Picture L to R)


A big thank you to all the team that took part in our Gala Day: Bulahdelah, Forster, Pacific Palms, Sporties and Tuncurry Beach, you all made our Gala Day a truly memorable event.

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.
