We were delighted to have enough interest and enthusiasm this season to field two sides in State Pennant for the first time in nine years, a fantastic achievement for the club and a clear sign of the strength of women’s bowls at Clovelly.
Grade 2
Our newly promoted Grade 2 side faced a stand-alone section against strong opposition from Double Bay, Wests and Cronulla. Outstanding bowls under pressure saw the team win the section and claim the MSEB flag, qualifying for the State Finals next August for the second year in a row.
Congratulations to:
Gina O’Reilly, Ros Madgwick, Teresa Tuckerman, Jill Cash, Carmel Sowden, Berry Skinner, Louise Baldwin, Sue Snape and Diana Lovegrove.
Grade 4
It was a great year for our second side, with many players contesting their first competition games. Despite a season disrupted by injuries and late call-ups, the team finished first in their section. Unfortunately, the super-fast Grandviews green proved a challenge in the semi-final, but the effort and spirit shown throughout the season were outstanding.
Congratulations to:
Sue Snape, Sandra Starrett, Juli Wright, Jen Gray, Kaye Smith, Susie Clark, Barb Buhagiar, Kathleen Mastrogiacomo, Gina Maroske, Annabel Sutherland, Linda Ruben and Josephine Fernandez.
A fantastic season of single-gender bowls leaves us well placed as we come together for the Open Gender Pennant in February.
Go Clovelly!
