We wish Justin Wright all the very best over the next couple of weekends as he participates once again with his bowls partner Chris Carruthers (from Safety Bay) in the PBA event in Mandurah. They have both won this competition previously and as a result, represented Australia in the UK in March 2024.

The aim of the PBA (Professional Bowls Association) is to promote and develop Professional Bowls worldwide and in doing so, foster, safeguard and encourage the game of bowls at all levels. It was formed in 1997 by bowlers worldwide.

Good luck Justin!

Congratulations to Ken Monkhouse (“Monkey”) who has been selected in the 2025 WA State Bowling Arm side. The team will play in the 11^th National Bowling Arm Sides Championship which will be held at Warrnambool, Victoria in September.   All six States will participate in this 5-A-Side event and Bill Taylor, WASABA Chair, believes the WA side to be one of the strongest seen to date. Well done Ken!!!

The Mount Lawley Men’s Master’s Singles event was held on 16 -18 May and a few of our members played. An outstanding effort by Josh Calyun who, after facing some very difficult opponents, reached the semi-finals. So proud of you Josh!!!

Josh also joined Cameron Girvan, Gavin Dodge, Justin Wright and Trevor Thompson (who subbed for Justin on the 2^nd day) in the HiltonPark 4’s Classic in May.
They won the event, playing through the two days undefeated. Congratulations!

In April, the Osborne Park Bowling Club held a 2^nd Division and Under Singles and Pairs tournament.
Our very own Kelvin Ruffell won the Singles event. A wonderful achievement Kiwi! Well done ….

At our recent Presentation Night, congratulations go to two bowlers who won the
Encouragement Award (Lorraine Brooks) and the Roy Scarfe Award (Kevin Creed).

What a wonderful pennant season we have had. A big thankyou to a number of our men who stepped up and played for the Tuesday ladies when we were short of players. Some of them joined the ladies at the Pennant Wind-up held at the Swan Yacht Club recently. What a great turn-out!
