THE Maleny Bowls Club have won one out of three matches against local teams in their monthly pairs Monday bowls competition on September 26.
Kilcoy, Mapleton, Woodford, Mooloolaba and Glasshouse were among the bowls club teams who competed in the several matches throughout the day.
Maleny Bowls president Wendy Bulger said teams travel weekly to the opposition’s bowls clubs to keep it fair and highlighted the importance of this community support.
“We go to their clubs, and they come to ours, it’s just a bit of fun and we don’t always have the same players playing here in Maleny and I’m sure that they don’t either,” she said.
“I am always meeting someone new so it’s nice to just converse with other people with the same interests.”
Their Monday bowls day each month is sponsored by Maleny Comms, who fund the prize money each team wins, to help keep this friendly competition going.
The winners from the first match were Lester Bechly and Rennie Lachlan from Kilcoy Bowls Club and the winners from the second were Mo and Steve Lawrence from Maleny Bowls Club.
Wolfgang Gleisenberg and Darryl Pollett from the Woodford Bowls Club won the final match for the day.
The Maleny Bowls Club holds this social bowls competition every fourth Monday of the month at their bowls club, if you are interested in entering and competing as a pairs team.
If you can’t wait until then, the Maleny Bowls Club is hosting their Oktoberfest and family day themed come and try day through a Bowls Queensland initiative, on October 16 from 10am.
