TRIPLES @ THE BAY 2022

Our 2022 Triples  the Bay Carnival was a great success with 26 teams filling the 2 available greens playing 3 games of 2 bowl triples.

Players from Breakers Wamberal, Canton Beach, Ettalong, Everglades, Gosford City, Hali, Munmorah, Ourimbah, The Entrance, Wyong and Bateau enjoyed a day of bowls under grey skies that threatened rain but thankfully did not deliver.

Following the first two games, lunch was enjoyed in the Main Lounge followed by delicious homemade slices prepared by members of our Social team plus other clever bakers within our Club.

Many thanks to Creighton's for their continued sponsorship of this event and a huge thank you to Dean Wilson for his work on the computer and doubling up as Umpire for the day - we have never seen an Umpire work harder (and no, they weren't all jack measures 😊!!)

DIVISION 3 WIN REGIONAL PENNANT PLAYOFFS

Congratulations to our Div 3 Red Pennant side, who today defeated Edgeworth in the Regional Pennant playoffs and now proceed to the State Playoffs in Bomaderry from November 18.

It was a good day for Wyong clubs with Avoca also winning Division 2, they now go to the State playoffs at Taren Point.

LAKES TROPHY RESULT

The Lakes Trophy was played today with Central Coast District playing Lake Macquarie District at Halekulani.

While Central Coast went down 99-138, our girls, Mary Farrugia, Maria Wallis and Sarah McKay, were playing on one of only 2 Central Coast rinks to win, 21-14.

Well done girls and congratulations on a great effort in your first rep game for District!!!!

DIV 3 REDS WIN THE FLAG!!!

Congratulations to our Division 3 Red side who today won the District Division 3 flag.

Our ladies played Terrigal this morning and despite suffering their first loss of the playoffs (25-44, 0-5 loss), their 3 magnificent wins on Monday and Tuesday, combined with the result between Umina and Gwandalan today were enough to secure the flag.

Congratulations Jennifer Robertson, Christine Butcher, Marion Lindsay and Lynn Farah (S) & Sam Marks, Corie Shields, Jill Cleary and Eileen Fitzgerald (S).  Manager Pauline Williams.

The ladies now proceed to the Regional Playoffs on Sunday September 25 at Redhead Bowling Club where they will play Edgeworth who won the Division 3 flag in Lake Macquarie District.

An event such as the play-offs does not run itself.  It takes a lot of planning and assistance from volunteers from both the Men's and Women's Clubs and we would like to thank all those that helped out over the three days with the BBQ, cake stall, marshalling, general setup - you did an amazing job and once again Bateau Bay is the talk of the District!!

We would like to also thank the Men's Club and their members for their understanding with regards to Social Bowls being cancelled on Tuesday and Wednesday.  It was great to see so many of you at the Club anyway cheering our girls on 😀.
