The ladies from the Young Sporties Bowling club have been busy in recent weeks competing in Sectional Fours competitions. Sunday 20th October we had the Senior Fours competing at Junee, the team consisting of Sheila Traynor, Ann Gardner, Robyn Apps and Margaret Gailey. The Young ladies had a bye in Round 1 and then played Wagga Rules in Round 2 with the Rules having the win then in Round 3 Young went down to Wagga RSL.

The Women’s Open Fours were played at Temora on Sunday also and Young’s team had a little more luck go their way with a Draw against Leeton & District in Round 1. Young had the bye in Round 2 and then in Round 3 they played Gundagai and were lucky enough to get the win. This means with a Draw and a win Young’s team of Jenny Holt, Lisa Boyd, Jill Rosen and Kate Cooper will now play in the Region Finals at YOUNG Sporties on 7th and 8th December. Well done ladies.
