A special congratulations goes to Gary Pearce (skip), Chris Pearce, Peter Lejarraga, and Lloyd Shepherd, who recorded five wins and two losses to finish third overall in the special trophy event.

Macknade Bowls Club took out the Red Pennants section—well done to them on a strong showing.

While the Red Pennants team was away, Brandon Bowls Club proudly hosted two days of Blue Pennants—the top-tier colour in the region. A huge thank you goes to all the ladies in the kitchen, the grounds crew who prepared the green and surrounds, and our hardworking bar staff. Hosting an event like this takes a village.

Congratulations to Jubilee on taking out the Blue Pennants title for the third year in a row.
