Home Hill Has A Crack At Bowen Major 4rs Tournament

The weekend saw two days of competitive and social bowls as teams from across the region gathered for a highly anticipated tournament. Players travelled from Townsville, Mackay, Airlie Beach, Giru, Brandon, and Proserpine to take part, with plenty of skill and camaraderie on display.

Among the competitors was Wayne Carroll, a veteran of the tournament who has been participating for an impressive 34 years. Now representing a Mackay team, Wayne first took part at the age of 36 and, still fit as a fiddle, hopes to continue competing for many years to come.

During the presentations, organisers made special mention of the Home Hill Bowls Club, noting it was heartening to see the club thriving and their bowlers supporting such major events once again. Both Home Hill teams bowled exceptionally well and did their club proud.

In the end, congratulations went to Steve Montin’s team, who claimed the tournament title after a strong performance over the two days. It was a fantastic weekend of bowls, with players already looking forward to next year’s event.
