Brandon Bowls

It was a busy weekend for the Brandon Bowls club venturing up to Townsville to compete in the North Queensland Bowls Association Pennants.
Brandon fielded one team this year hoping to stay in the Red division. Teams that played in this division came from Maggie Island, South Townsville, Macknade, Cutheringa, Wangaratta, Jubilee and Thuringia.
Unfortunately for Brandon things didn’t go to plan winning only 1 of its 7 games. In 2 of the games the result came down to 2/3 shots against some of the bigger clubs in Townsville.
Coming up tournament-wise is the Dunn Cup which will be played at the Jubilee Bowls Club in Townsville where 4 of the best bowlers from each club complete over the 4 days. This event started many years ago at Home Hill Bowls Club and the tradition continues to this day.
