Vale Chris Young.

On behalf of Bowls Victoria, our condolences and deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Y***o.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Chris Young, Chalambar Golf Bowls Club.

Chris has been an outstanding bowler and ambassador of our sport over multiple decades.

A current National and Victorian State O60s skipper, Chris' absence will be felt far and wide.

Our deepest sympathies to Sue and the Young and Todd families.

Thanks for showing us how it's done Y***o. Rest In Peace 🙏
