Busy Week for Noorla Bowls Club as Year Winds Down

The Noorla Bowls Club wrapped up a lively week of events with two exciting competitions, showcasing impressive skills and camaraderie among bowlers.

Ladies Day Success
On Wednesday, November 20, the Noorla Bowls Club hosted its Ladies Day, drawing 18 enthusiastic bowlers for a day of triples competition. The event featured a special prize for the first toucher, which went to Johnny Leonardi.

The top honors of the day went to Terry George’s team, featuring Gail Bison and John Silvini, who finished with the highest score. Close behind, Albert Bison’s team of Johnny Leonardi and Joe Girgenti claimed the runners-up prize.

A heartfelt thank-you was extended to everyone who supported the club throughout the year—whether by attending, helping with smoko, buying raffle tickets, or assisting with cooking and preparations. The club's ladies will attend the Ingham Ladies Presentation Day next Wednesday, but the men are invited to keep the games going in their absence.


Sunday Jackpot Fours
On Sunday, December 1, Noorla’s Jackpot Fours competition unfolded under humid but dry conditions. Nygel and Jan Craven claimed victory, with Keith Wegert and Chrissy Hewitt taking the runners-up spot.

Looking ahead, next Sunday will see a return visit from South Townsville, promising another exciting day of bowls. Meanwhile, Wednesday bowls will proceed as scheduled, weather permitting, with names to be in by 1 p.m.
