It was a fantastic day of bowls and camaraderie as QRI hosted Home Hill for their recent inter-club match. Club President Trevor Elton praised the strong turnout, with both clubs filling a full eight rinks — a brilliant show of support and spirit from all involved.
The match itself was a close tussle, with Home Hill securing five rink wins in a competitive yet friendly atmosphere.
Adding a special touch to the day, QRI life member Vic Clough — who has proudly represented the club for over 30 years — spoke about the true heart of QRI. "It's not about the competition," Vic said, "it's about the friendships." He also shared how QRI enjoys travelling throughout North Queensland, supporting the clubs they visit, and that members often have opportunities to play at state and interstate carnivals.
A big shoutout must go to the hardworking team behind the scenes who put on a sensational afternoon tea — refreshing players and visitors alike with a spread that was as warm and welcoming as the bowls.
In other club news, Home Hill's Fours Final was played recently with fantastic attendance and lively support from the community. Congratulations to the winning team — Michael, Norm, Alex, and Margaret — on a well-deserved victory!
