Well it has been quite a while since the Young Sporties Womens Lawn Bowls have had anything to report, the weather, until the last couple of weeks hasn’t been kind but it is still winter.

However over the weekend of 16th and 17th August some of the Young Bowlers ventured to Temora to play in a sectional playoff of the Riverina Murray Women’s Senior Triples Championships.

To set the scene on Saturday afternoon a team from Harden, namely Dianne DeBritt, Patricia Walker and Dianne Peisley defeated a team from Lake Cargelligo 23 – 14.

The Young ladies team consisting of Sheila Traynor, Elsie Hines and Margaret Gailey had a bye in this round as did another team from Lake Cargelligo and a team from Leeton & District.

Sunday morning Harden were defeated by the second Lake team 16-27 and Young had a big win over Leeton 33-5.

Sunday afternoon Round 3 the Final of this section was played between Young and Lake Cargelligo (Sue Hart, Bev Fyfe and Denise Morris).

Young got off to a great start and had a good lead but Lake started to pick up a few more ends which kept Young on their game, but after completing 21 ends Young ladies had a win 20 – 16.

Well done Sheila, Elsie and Margaret great bowls ladies good luck now when you play in Region Finals.

Earlier this week Lisa Boyd from Young Sporties and Dianne Peisley from Harden have been playing together in a Pairs Tournament at Dubbo results to be advised later.
