Australian Bowls Open.
Great work from Bob McAuley yesterday, winning with partner John Gray the first 2 games in the knockout pairs over 60s draw before being eliminated in the round of 32.
Kath Mann & Andrea Dowman won their first game in the knockout but now eliminated.

Great finals coming up live on You Tube from 11am and Sky Sport channels 5 &4 from 1.30 to 6.30pm today (Thursday) and Friday.

Australian Bowls Open Update:
An exciting morning with Kelvin Jackson and Allan Brash winning 21-8 in the ground of 16 before being eliminated in the quarter finals.
Meanwhile the over 60 womens pairs had some qualifiers.
Linley Carter & Barbara L Wilson as well as Kath Mann and Andrea Dowman both qualified for the main draw today.
I think Bob McAuley qualified in the over 60s on Monday with partner John Gray. Bob is registered with a Queensland Club however I assume he is Bannockburn so I missed it.
Good luck going forward all of you.

Special good luck Kelvin and Allan. Film stars on TV as well... We'll all be willing those bowls on.

Mens open pairs today in the Australian Open.. Geoff Short was eliminated in the knockout draw this morning. Good effort getting that far. Kelvin Jackson & Allan Brash ate through to round 16. They play again tomorrow morning. (Tuesday) Good luck.

💚 Volunteer Week | Thank you 💚
This Volunteer Week, we’re shining a light on the people who make bowls happen behind the scenes.
From the mahi in the lunchrooms, the care taken in the clubrooms, to the dedication shown out on the greens — your time, effort and heart keep our clubs and communities thriving.
So much of what you do happens quietly, but its impact is huge. Thank you for everything you give to our sport. 🙌

Great effort from Debbie Jackson in the singles today. Winning her first game before being defeated 16-21.
