for the google sheet 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.
5th October 24 - The results from todays state fours, I'll do my review in the morning coz I'm stuffed
4th October 24 - The pennant fixtures have been released for season 2024/25, and now the mad scramble begins for clubs wanting to swap games. to view.
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!!!

26th May 24 - I've started a new series, I'm going to jot down my thoughts on bowls related issues during the course of the Winter, I'm calling my editorials. They will cover various issues, prizemoney for state events, bowls laws but today I have looked at our pennant competition and it's structure.
24th May 24 - A long time morley member has passed away. Also want to thank the Morley person who sends me information about his club. The Vale especially was not intended for only bowlers everyone would know, but for those who are club stalwarts who have bowled at the same club for years. Bowlers who past members might have played with in their bowls journey and opposition players. It's always sad to hear of bowlers passing away and nice to recognise their contribution to the club they bowl at.
19th May 24 - Don't forget the BPL qualifyings are on at the moment, 3 completed and 12 to go. It's not too late to enter your club either. WA have a rich tradition in the BPL cup so get on board.

18th April 24 - And a response
14th April 24 - Another comment
9th April 24 - Received a good letter about the upcoming changes to our pennant structures, namely around Open Gender Saturday pennants> In case you missed it, Bowls WA did release a discussion paper about it, to read that presentation. Remember, the discussion paper is not about whether it should come in or not, the changes are being made and this is more about information about why, the history and such. Bowls WA are encouraging clubs, not individuals, to make a submission to the league about questions they may have about it, and those questions will then be addressed in one go.
I, on the other hand, welcome letters from individuals about it, but I will only publish letters that are well reasoned thoughts and not intent on name calling or denegrating of individuals alone.
16th April 24 - I really should check the Bowls WA website more often, the draw for the champ of champs has been released.
14th April 24 - There are 2 big events coming up, the Internations and the PBA.
First up in the Internations, held again at Cockburn. A magnificent event where bowlers from WA represent 8 countries over 2 days of bowls playing for nothing but to raise money for charity. It's a fantastic initiative which has raised over 150k over 40 years and a special one this year after the passing of founding father Doug Arrowsmith. If you arent playing and would like to watch some good, buy some raffles or just contribute some funds, head to Cock on the 4th and 5th May.
Then there is the PBA run by Dave Rankin. I reckon it would be the biggest PBA qualifying event in the world with generally 100 participants and anyone can play. First prize - a trip to England to play against some of the superstars of the sport. And you get 3 opportunities to do it! The Scottish Open, The Worlds and the UK Open. Throw in a pairs event as well and it is one of the biggest prizes in WA bowls. For more details check out the Facebook page by or email Dave at perthpennants@hotmail.com.
13th April 24 - Joondalup lose a very important player, is it the first of many?
9th April 24 - North Perth have a couple of vacancies for their Harry Snook Pairs this weekend. Also if you are thinking of a week away from the Winter cold, have you considered the NT? Nightcliff has sent details of their upcoming carnival program
9th April 24 - Sorry for the absence, had some days off and found a heap of Winter Weeklies to post.
8th April 24 - The results are in, we had a 4 way tie with 21 correct tips. So we countback from their selections of the winners. 3 picked Krstic so we lose Louie Beurteaux (who tipped Featherby). The male selections were Marsland, Nairn and Moyle, the team to progress furtherest from that group was Nairn and so our tipping winner is Graeme Alp! Congratulations Graeme, some head wobble over the Winter until the next tipping comp. Commiserations to Barry Crawford and myself. Full tips scores are now posted.
3rd April 24 - And when a state event is released, so is a tipping comp! Again no prizes, just a head wobble to say how good am I to your friends. Usual rules apply, 1 entry person, enter as many times as you like but only the latest entry counts. Tied scores will be separated by your nomination of the winner in both mens and ladies, if it is still tied then a random draw will commence. But as we aren't playing for anything, I may split the prize between all winning entries! Entries close Saturday morning 9am, entries rec'd after this time will be considered null and/or void.
8th April 24 - There is only 1 thing bowlers look forward to in the off season and that is the rumour mill. Hot off the press, our first factual rumour comes from Mosman Park

Maybe I am looking with man eyes but I can't see any stories on Bowls WA about our 1st division winners from Sunday. For those that don't have the ability to look at the portal and get the scores (yes you Graham), below is a summary of results.
I had been waiting until Thursday pennants has been decided and then I will be doing a comprehensive list of flag winners across all pennants, both Saturday and midweek comps, male and female. If your club has a photo with this years pennant flag and successful players, send it in and I will be happy to display
27th March 24 - The season is over, time to start looking for canrivals to play in. I have been sent details for Quinns Rocks, Dudley Park and Womens Internations. Yes, Womens Internations. Expressions of interest has been extended so all our female bowlers take the opportunity to be involved in the first ever womens version of the very successful Internations carnival. And spread the word, I don't get many ladies reading the site (which is a great disappoint as I want to try and cover all bowlers).

30th January 24 - The results are in! Amazingly we had no tippers tied so overall winners weren't required to split them. Well done to Joe Krstic who scored the double - winning the tipping and watching his daughter win the title. He got 85 correct, an amazing 3 ahead of his nearest rival Denis on 82. It was a popular winners tipping combination as well, they were our 2 favourites and as a combo well done to Steve Harris, Norm Fathers, Justin Wright, Marcus Weston, Paul Sinden and Mike Turner for the Packer/Krstic winners. All tipsters scores can be found at the link above.
20th January 24 - Great news tipsters, thanks to Aero Bowls, they are providing a $50 voucher to their store for the winner. This is great news, thanks Vanessa, Neville and the team there at Aero Bowls in Balcatta. Even if you have aubmitted a team and want to make changes, it is not too late to submit a new entry which will supersede the old entry.
13th January 24 - Tipping is open, no prizes again this time around in the big daddy of tipping. 129 sections to work your way through. Entries close Sunday 21st January at 9pm. Winner will be decided by most correct tips and if a draw then it will be based upon your selection of the winner. Choose wisely!
29th January 24 - An enthralling contest has seen Cody Packer go back to back after defeating Warren Holt 25-20 yesterday. It looked one way traffic halfway thru the game but Holt mounted a comeback and it was game on but a 3 on the last end saw the victory go Packers way. In the ladies, Kristina Krstic confirmed her status as our best female bowler at the moment with a convincing 25-8 win over Pam Chalmers. Is Krstic our best ever female bowler at such a young age? Her victory makes it 5 singles titles and see her stand alone at the top as most ever, an outstanding achievement. Take nothing away from Chalmers who had her best ever result in the singles but the experienced of her opponent showed out.
Congratulations to both our champions
27th January 24 - We are down to the quarter finals for the men and the semi finals for the ladies as we move to Joondalup tomorrow to play the finals. For the men, 4 previous winners left and all in separate games. Ryan Havercroft will give 2 time champ Blake Nairn a real run for his money, a couple of young up and comers next, last years winner cody Packer takes on Brian Davis from Swan and Warren Holt the countryweek and state singles champ will have to see off Segan Pasalich. The enticing game though in the morning will be 2011 champ Clive Adams taking on Daniel Trewhella, surprisingly never a winner in the State event although a Masters singles winner on about 10 occasional.
For the Ladies, Osborne Park teammates Amanda Masters will play Pam Chalmers and the other semi seems Kristina Krstic aiming for her 5th title will have to overcome Lisa Featherby who is looking for her first.
A super days play in order for tomorrow at Joondalup. Play starts at 9.30am. If you can't get to the game the mens quarter final, then ladies final, then mens final will be live streamed on Streamer, will take you there.

1st January 24 - A response to the letter.
30th December 23 - Rec'd an interesting letter about state events and the venues they are played at.
31st December 23 - Congratulations go to Russell Bates and Brad Ball for taking out this years State Pairs over Cody Packer and Clive Adams 22-14. It is the first state title for Bates who has been a runner up in the singles but he has been knocking on the door for a while. Ball has won the Triples in his only other state title.
30th December 23 - And we are down to 4 teams. My selection and heavy favourite would be Cody Packer and Clive Adams, although the other 3 teams are strong combinations and have the potential to win the title. Adams will play his Cambridge teammate Cameron Harris coupled with Connor Biddle. In the other semi another Cambridge player Brad Gillingham teaming with ex-teammate at North Beach Peter Retallack take on Russell Bates and Brad Ball, Ball having ties with Cambridge about 5 years ago. It should be a great day, head on down to Osborne Park to see our champ for this year.
28th December 23 - Our sectional stage is over, some huge upsets and well fancied teams have been knocked out. For me it seems to be Packer/Adams to lose but Pairs has a tendency to throw up some strange results. Look at Section 37, the winner of that game porogressed. Good luck to all teams today in some of the best pairs weather we have seen for years.
30th December 23 - We didn't need to get to the final to decide this years Mens State Pairs tipping winner, well done Cameron Harris on winning the quarter final against Warren Holt thus knocking Jim Stewart out of the race. You can now play without the burden of the tipping on your shoulders. Massive head wobble, sadly no prizes this year.
29th December 23 - We have the results of the tipping and it is a 3 way tie. So to separate it all depends on who they selected. Steve Novak tipped himself who unfortunately did not get out of his section so he is out. The remaining 2 have tipped different teams and they are still alive, Jim Stewart is riding last years winners Holt/Wunnenberg and Cameron Harris now has more to play for as he has selected himself to win. Massive head wobble should Cam take the double of winning the state pairs and importantly, the tipping.
Full scores can be found in the tipping page.

8th November 23 - The technical difficulties I had have been fixed by my database wizard Warwick Neville and we can now release the results for the state fours tipping. Congratulations to Anthony Monson, John Carter and Steve Novak who all got 22 correct. In the old days if we were after 1 winner it would have been Steve Novak who went for Krstic and Trewhella. These three now receive a ticket in the Rossmoyne raffle for an all expenses paid trip to the gold Coast to compete in the Australian Open. A great prize and if you have any thoughts of going you may as well spend a bit extra and buy some tickets. Details can be found

Full results can be found on the tipping page.

19th October 23 - thanks to the generosity of Wally and the Rossmoyne Bowling club, we have access to up to 3 entries in their raffle. See below for details but this is a great prize and something that any bowler should be looking to buy a ticket in. So what i normally do with tied entries is split the winners based on their selections. If we have more than 3 winners I will do that still but if we have 3 or less then they will each get an entry in the raffle. Thanks again Wally and Rossmoyne. for details
