The Brandon Bowls Club had an eventful week filled with excitement and community spirit. The festivities began on Friday, 15 November, with the club’s final Trophy Bowls evening for 2025, sponsored by Bennett Mechanical Exhaust & 4x4. A special thanks goes out to Josh Samuel for his generous support.
The event saw an impressive turnout of 62 bowlers who enjoyed a warm evening of competitive play. The standout winners of the night were Sandra Darwin, Henry Hazel, Margaret Chapman, and Gary Pearce with the Mio Farming team taking out second place. The Bradman Trophy for the evening went to Damien Morello, Raymond Tortorica, Lloyd Shepherd and Jayson Farry. The club extends its gratitude to everyone who participated and contributed, including the ladies in the kitchen, Len Feeney for expertly handling the BBQ, and Leo Kenny for his work behind the bar. Special recognition also goes to Gary Pearce and Rob Jorgensen for their dedication in organising sponsors and coordinating teams throughout the year.
Trophy Bowls will return in February 2025, and more details will be shared as the date approaches.
Sunday, 17 November, was a more relaxed affair with Social Bowls, featuring 14 bowlers who enjoyed mixed games of triples and pairs after the previous day’s celebrations. In the pairs matches, Rob Jorgensen and Richi Mau claimed victory over Mick McCloskey and Kev Collins, while Gary Nosworthy and Jamie Woods defeated Peter Lejarraga and Allan Gairoch. The triples game saw Henry Hazel, Joe Yipnazar, and Jeff Taylor triumph over Ben Mills, Leo Kenny, and Doug Robins with an impressive count.
Saturday, 16 November, was another highlight as Brandon Bowls Club welcomed the Gold City Bowls Club from Charters Towers for their return visit to compete for the Dalgety Shield - a tradition dating back to 1996. This time, Brandon emerged victorious, reclaiming the coveted trophy in a memorable win. The day was marked by camaraderie, with two matches played and breaks for a delicious lunch and afternoon tea, culminating in celebrations that lasted well into the evening.
