A Man Wearing A Green Hat And A Green Shirt Is Standing On A Green Field — Pacific Palms Bowling Club In Smiths Lake, NSW

On the 10th & 11th of December 2022, Zone 11 held there portion of NSW Rookies Championship which is for those players who have only been playing lawn for a short period of time. We were fortunate enough to have two (2) from our club attend, Jason Lawrence and John Kell. Both very capable bowlers and were looking forward to pitting themselves against other rookies in the Zone.


Both played extremely well over the two (2) day event with Jason and John playing each other in one of the round games.


Jason who only lost one game over the two (2) days (which was the game between Jason and John Kell) was the eventual winner and will now head to Raymond Terrace Bowling Club on Sunday 5th of February for the playoffs. We wish Jason all the best and hopefully he can continue his winning ways at the playoffs in February.

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.
