The week at the Ayr Bowling Club kicked off on Tuesday 13 August with two games of triples, showcasing some impressive bowling!

Last week, Pam Power and Irene Wilson represented the Ayr Bowling Club in Townsville at the NQDLBA Open Singles Championship. Pam made it to the quarterfinals - well done, Pam! A big congratulations to Irene Wilson, who won the championship by defeating Sue Brady (Pine Rivers) in the final. This win highlights the exceptional talent of the Ayr Bowling Club ladies, who have had a fantastic season.

Thursday’s Ladies Open Triples saw a tightly contested match, with the last few ends determining the outcome. The winners were Lyn Storrie, Beryl Cornford, and Irene Wilson, who defeated Ruth Moore, Heather Jorgensen, and Pam Power.

Another awesome day of bowls was had on Sunday 18 August for the Championship Finals at the Ayr Bowling Club. In the final of the Championship Triples, J. Murray, H. Hazel (sub), and M.
