The greens were buzzing with excitement as 18 enthusiastic players gathered for Noorla Bowls Club's first Ladies Day of 2025. Following recent flood disruptions, the event was a fantastic way to bring the community together and kick off the new year’s competition.

A fantastic time was had by all, with plenty of skill and camaraderie on display. The club extended special thanks to their providore Chris, for providing an excellent "smoko" that kept players energized throughout the day.

The event also brought cause for celebration, with Sue Pizzi earning a well-deserved selection in the North Queensland Team set to compete on the Sunshine Coast. This is a tremendous personal achievement for Sue and a proud moment for the small but talented club.
