OPEN

26th October 24 - I've added some stats for the Premier League which will be there every week going forward. I'm using the skipper stats I have been collating for the seasons since 2006 + 1997 and 1999 and have arfrived at Win,Loss, draw record for the skippers playing today. The record is only for the skippers and not the rink. Hopefully during the season I will be able to bring you records such as club head to head, player head to head, record scores and winning margins and more.
So going forward, the format is Skippers name (W,L,D)

25th October 24 - We've had a volunteer for Blue North, the "King In The North"!. Welcome, his preview his here

25th October 24 - Previews for PL and White now online. Now that all the teams are in, let's have a look at the impact of open gender.

TIPPING

13th October 24 - We have a winner. and a runaway winner. Out of 38 sections Garry Booker correctly tipped 26 of them, 2 clear of the next person. Amazing tipping, well done to Garry. Unfortunately no prize but this season I will track the tips for all the state events and we can see who's had the best tipping year. For those interested Garry didn't even select a winner, such was his confidence of requiring it! Next event will be the Womens State Pairs.

3rd October 24 - It's not too late to enter the fours, at this stage we see the Daniel Trewhella and Kristina Krstic rinks start as favourites. Interestingly Krstic and Lisa Featherby who is the only other team tipped to win play each other in the section. Seems like winner of that game wins the title! Of course they won't be thinking that as plenty of good teams in the event, but interesting it has been tipped that way.

27th September 24 - ...and with every state event, we have a tipping comp! Same rules as always, no prizes this year unless a business is interested in a donation. The winner will be the person who tips the most correct skippers as listed by game start time. If there is a tie it will be separated by who you think will win the fours, both male and female and the highest of those tips will win. Should there still be a tie then a hat draw will take place.
In the interest of accuracy, if you know of changes to the teams listed, please advise updates so I can let people know. Especially those TBA!!!

6th October 24 - We are down to the semi finals and an exciting day we saw. All teams in the mens and ladies finals from last year are out, Kristina Krstic going down to Noelene Abe and Shane Giudice-Nairn losing on an extra end to Ryan Brown. We are guaranteed a Ryan in the final as Brown plays Moyle, With Wayne Neilson playing Paul Davies in the other. For the ladies, Abe will play Irene Arndt with Liz Matthews playing Karen Miller. With the venue unknown at this stage, it promises to be an exciting day on the 27th October.

6th October 24 - Ok feeling refreshed and ready to go. Good day of state fours yesterday and we are down to the knockout stages today at Kardinya. The section 10 battle between Kristina Krstic and Lisa Featherby didn't eventuate as the Featherby rink forfeited that match, gifting Krstic the rink. The remaining sections seemed to go as planned so the Ladies draw is in for some good games today.
In the mens, again it appears the favoured teams have mostly progressed. Section 6 produced a 0% win with Dwayne Hayden winning all 3 games to get through the section. The battle between Daniel Trewhella and Clive Adams was tight and it was Trewhella that triumphed by 3 shots. Section was decided by 1 shot, Darren Rowland and Kristian Carr both with 2 wins and a % of 133 but Rowland with +12 over Carr's +11 saw them progress. Last years year Shane Giudice-Nairn dropped a game but progress, as does last years runners up Matthew Mitchell. Another fine day weather wise for those wanting to watch some good fours bowls today at Kardinya.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Day 14 - It's all over for another year and what a way to finish, Kristina Krstic and her good friend Ellen Fife taking out the womens pairs and the gold medal. We had Western Australians playing on every day of the event, 2 gold medals and a silver, and a few other semi finalists and quarter finalists. The most we've ever had attend the event this year for a superb return. Well done to all competing and successes we had. Day 13 - What a day for Laura Butler, WA and Switzerland as she wins the Australian open singles crown. We are all proud of her achievements, as we are when any WA bowler wins a big title like this. And what a cracking game against Kelsey Cottrell, both at 19 all and with 2 clutch bowls Butler was able to hang on and win. She has had a fair tournament sending the organisers in a tail spin juggling the times - semi finals in the pairs and quarter finals in the fours.
In another WA achievement but not as lofty was the silver medal won by Calvin Rodgers in the vision impaired singles. Got awfully close to lose 19-21. In other games Peter Cole went down in Round 4 and Lisa Featherby/Linda Warburton fell in the semi final in the Over 60's Pairs. We still have a couple of games to go including Kristina Krstic in the Womens Pairs final tomorrow.
Day 11 - A late finish today to squeeze in the Ladies Pairs and it's been a super day for them with 3 pairs making the quarter finals, Kristina Krstic with Ellen Fife, Hailey Packer and Deb Saunders and finally Laura Butler with her parter Olivia Cartwright still in the hunt tomorrow at 9am. Another super performance for our WA bowlers is Calvin Rodgers who will play in the gold medal match on Thursday for the vision impaired. Sadly though Cody Packer bowed out in the semi finals after his giant killing run came to end. The mens and womens Over 60's were completed today, our star ladies duo of Lisa Featherby and Linda Warburton were the only ladies to progress and for the men we had Peter Cole, Jeff Watson/Glenn Lynch, Andy McFarlane/Alan Spence and Mark Burgess/Brad Spiers.
Day 10 - Another jam packed day for 90 WA bowlers as we get to the pointy end of the Mens Pairs, Womens Fours, Multi Disability and Vision Impaired pairs. Cody Packer and Laura Butler flying the flag for us they remain alive in all of their disciplines, Cody with partner Cohen Litfin making the quarter finals and Laura with her Fours team also in quarters playing Kristina Krstic and her team, so we are guaranteed a semi finalist there. Jodie Nikolic finished 2nd in the sectional but it was enough to see her progress to the knockout stage. As the AO winds down there is still plenty of action in the coming days.
Day 9 - Our singles players are still going after a superb day for our WA players. Cody Packer and Laura Butler un-troubled, Cody into the quarter finals and the mountain doesn't get much bigger than Aron Sherriff and Laura reaches the semi-finals again, hopefully can get 2 more wins to secure the title.
Multi disability singles kicked off today and not so good for our Yanchep player Jodie Nikolic going down in both games but better for Calvin Rodgers in the vision impaired singles with 3 games of 21-6 to reach the semi finals. Serge Ansquer not as successful losing all 3.
Day 8 - We are down to 3 left in the blue ribbon event, the singles. Laura Butler is holding the fort like she did last year with 3 solid wins today and takes on Australian champion player Lynsey Clarke. Down at the pointy end it is never easy. For the men we have 2 left, Cody Packer plays Phillip Gray and David Goddard who I don't know much about but he takes on a local legend in Scotty De Jongh.
Day 7 - It was Fours day as the Womens Fours sectional play was completed and Mens fours knockout was played to the Round of 16. We had the ludicrous situation in the Ladies where teams that finished 3rd were progressing. Surely the Australian Open is big enough now was that we can have an alignment game rather than lucky losers. Anyway, well done to our West Aussie ladies progressing - Porteous/Clements/Leach/Newton, Reagan/Masters/Saunders/Saunders, Leggett/Casson/Gullotti/Wilke, Watson/Jolliffe/Crabb/Lynch, Brannan/Warburton/Featherby, Krstic, Arnold/Bell/Coxon/Pearson, Butler, Nikolic/Carson/Arnold/Ferguson.
Mens knockouts also today had 3 rounds and we still have some players alive. Cody Packer was in the licorice all sorts team that caused the upset of the tournament beating last years winners. Also still alive is the team of C Alberti/Sear/Gillingham/T Alberti.
Day 6 - The Mens Fours kicked off today and the completion of the Ladies Singles. I think with 31 lucky losers our guys will need +12 to get through which should see some extra teams progress, but the 1st placed qualifiers today were Nelson/Burley/Godden/Smith, Holt/Holt/Davidson/Sharp, Harris/East/Downey/Adams, Wighton, Wright/Dodge/Thompson/Carruthers, Nairn, Packer. The Ladies finished their singles with Laura Butler and Maggie Newton progressing. 8 lucky losers there so I'm not sure our 2nd placed people will progress, we shall see in an hour or so.
Day 5 - Ladies singles starts today and the conclusion of the mens pairs. 3 qualifiers today for the men - Walker/Pauling, Alberti/Gillingham and Rhett Butler. Knockout draw has been completed with our 25 men left which will be played next Monday. First day of the Ladies singles sees Kristina Krstic, Sharon Lynch, Tusha Jolliffe and Shaan Saunders automatic qualifiers. 8 lucky losers so you will need a good shots up to progress.
Day 4 - Our Mens Pairs kicks off today to be completed tomorrow and also our final 3 sections of WA ladies. It was a successful day there with 2 getting to the knockout stage, Lisa Brannan (with Claire Sanders SA) and Laura Butler (with Olivia Cartwright Vic). Our mens winners with 0 lucky losers (so you need to win the section to progress) were (only WA men mentioned) Sear/C Alberti, Dean, Massang/Marsland, Retallack, Davidson/Holt, Ball/Bates, Godden/Smith, Beurteaux/Mawdsley, Scott/Humfrey, Martin, Packer, Downey/East.
Day 3 - Our Ladies Pairs started today and the final round of the Mens singles. Mens qualifiers were Russell Tyrrell, Chris Carruthers, Matt Allen, John Hobbs, Geoffrey Burgess. Ladies pairs section winners are Deb Saunders/Hailey Packer, Kristina Krstic/(Ellen Fife), Amanda Masters/Shaan Saunders. There are 13 lucky losers so those that finish 2nd still an outside chance.
Day 2 - Our winners today wee Cody Packer, Clive Adams, Russell Bates, Paul Dean, Matthew Ngui, John Davidson, Kimberley Thomson, Thomas Vlahos.
Day 1 - No lucky losers with the mens so only winners of each section qualify and we had 10 qualifiers - Warren Holt, Jon Sharp, Craig Hitchcock, Jack East, Phillip Coxon, Blake Nairn, Neale Griffin, Cameron Harris, Dale Marsland and David Goddard.
