25.01.2022 Congratulations to SGBD Over 60’s Ladies Singles Champion Jenny Miller pictured with Runner Up Rosa James. Our club was very well represented with 3 of the final 4 from Leongatha.

24.01.2022 We’ll be going live with the ladies over 60’s final shortly with Leongatha vs Leongatha Rosa James has won the toss vs Jenny Miller

24.01.2022 And Then There Were 4. Today saw the completion of the first rounds of the Mens and Ladies Club Championship Singles. There were some fantastic games with both reigning Club Champions having very tight matches eventually overcoming their opponents to advance to the Semis. Consistency was the key today and no one did that better than Vito Serafino and Susan Crouch, both proving they are the ones to watch out for in the Semi’s. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to mark today’s matches - The Semi finals and Final will be held on December 13th, hopefully we can have some spectators by then. Attached are photos of this afternoons action (sorry no ladies photos as photographers game finished long after the others).

I realised that great achievement and I was proud to be apart of that team. 10. Favourite bowls memory? This weird year. 2019/2020.

Returned to Leongatha in 2013 and joined the club then. 5. What got you into bowls? Followed mum and dad into the club. Mum (Ellie) is a life member. Dad passed away a few years back. 6. What type of bowls do you use? Brand? Size? Colour? Grip? Yellow. Redline. Size 3. The larger size keeps me competitive against the men’s bigger bowls. 7. Greatest bowls achievement? Made it through to the semi finals of the novice event in my first year. 8. Favourite bowls memory? Put black tape on the yellow kitties at social bowls on 2017 AFL Grand Final Day.

What club puts on the best spread? I enjoy the spread at a Mirboo North. They do a great job for a small club. Of course our own club holds it’s own. 14. Funniest thing you’ve seen at bowls? Carol Thorn had a weighted kitty which rolled every which way. It was like rolling an egg down the green. And I can remember some respected women putting ice down their bras on a hot day. 15.

When it comes down to it I just want to keep improving and getting better. 18. Piece of advice you would give to someone starting out?
