Community Comes Together for Trophy Bowls Night Despite Adverse Weather

Despite heavy rain and flooding earlier in the week, the local community rallied together on Friday evening for the much-awaited Trophy Bowls Night, sponsored by Peter Marine Home Hill. With a late-afternoon storm followed by stifling heat and humidity, 46 players gathered for an exciting night of competition.
Special thanks to Raymond Peterson for his generous support and to the dedicated ladies in the kitchen who once again delivered exceptional catering. The BBQ team kept spirits high with sizzling dishes, and Gary Pearce’s smooth organization ensured everything ran effortlessly.
The big winners of the night were the team from Rink 7, sponsored by Mio Farming, consisting of Glen, Phil, Alf, Anthony, and John. Runners-up were the players from Rink 6—Ken Ferguson, Vince DeBella, D Brown, and Ro Jorgenson. The Bradman Trophy was awarded to Rink 5, which featured John Grabbi, Margaret McLaughlan, Joe Grabbi, and Ross McLaughlin.
Looking ahead, the next Trophy Bowls event will take place on March 14th, sponsored by Mio Farming.
In Sunday’s Championship Rinks competition, Kevin Collins’ team—Ken Ferguson, Len Feeney, and Doug Robins—dominated Hugh Montgomery’s team in gruelling, almost unbearable conditions.
In B Grade Singles, Ben Mills secured a hard-fought victory over veteran Neville Dickinson, with Mills’ consistent draw bowling proving the difference in an entertaining contest.
The Jackpot was claimed by Ben Mills and Vince Beitia, who shared the spoils in a thrilling finale.
