Division 4 Pennant Winners 2013 Congratulations to our Dayboro Ladies for taking home the flag this year. Very exciting win.
We have 2 other flags, first one was won in 1996. It is a Queensland Ladies Bowls Association Metropolitan Sectional winner flag, which meant competing against other districts to be overall winner. Second flag is from a photo Edna Wruck showed us of her proudly holding the runners-up flag in 2001.
In 2012 in Division 5 we were beaten in the semi-finals after going out on our own for the first time in a number of years. This was Sheila Close’s first for her new Club as Pennant Selector, Manager and player which she found a real privilege, and a real struggle at times to field the 3 teams.
In 2013, thanks to the new players who joined our Club this year, we were able to at least have 2 complete teams most of the time, and thanks to the members who put their hands up to keep the 3rd team going.
Our last 2 games were nail biters, going into the finals. Thanks to all members who participated. It was a shame that Sheila was unavailable for the last game. Sheila was grateful to President Lorraine (filling in for Sheila) when faced with 2 bowls to play, and knowing it was up to her, she came up trumps and we got over the line by 2 shots.
Thanks also to Giuli Ferguson for umpiring 4 of our games.
It is noted that proud Edna Wruck played in all 3 of these games.
