State Pairs
Winners: Margaret Smith Karen Croker Ettalong |
This match was played between Margaret Smith & Karen Croker (Ettalong) and Christine Hamalainen & Donna Hamilton (Ourimbah). It was first time into a District final for a nervous Christine & Donna. They played some lovely bowls but the experience of Margaret & Karen proved too strong and they went on to win comfortably. Congratulations to Margaret & Karen and well done to Christine & Donna.

State Senior Pairs
Winners: Robyn Deane Michelle Treadwell Halekulani |
This match was keenly contested between Robyn Deane & Michelle Treadwell (Halekulani) and Mary Farrugia & Maria Wallis (Bateau Bay). After a slow start by Mary & Maria they caught up to Robyn & Michelle then the lead seesawed between the two. Robyn & Michelle got a handy 6 towards the latter part of the game and kept the lead from then. Great bowling from both teams. Congratulations to Robyn & Michelle and well done to Mary & Maria.
