Strong field for Nationals
THERE was plenty of action at City Memorial Bowls Club this week when teams converged on the greens to compete in the 2025 National Bowling Arms Championships.
An estimated 120 players, representing six states, competed across five days this week – culminating with today’s final round of competition.
“This is the 11th national championships and we’re thrilled to have it here in Warrnambool,” City Memorial Bowls Club general manager Julie Dosser said.
“We have teams from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia all competing.
“They all seem to be having a great time and there’s plenty of spectators cheering them on.
“Victoria has been very successful at these championships in the past so hopefully they can continue their good run.”
The event includes fours, singles, triples and pairs with non-stop action on each of the greens throughout the day.
“Not only has the championships brought a large number of players but also spectators which is great for Warrnambool,” Julie said.
“The event was officially opened on Monday by the CEO of Bowls Victoria Tony Sherwill and the president Pat Schram, along with Warrnambool mayor Ben Blain.
“The St Joseph’s school choir sang the national anthem on Monday, which was special, and we will have an official presentation dinner here tonight (Friday) to end the championships.”
