Bowlers who have been selected to represent the Southern Downs District in upcoming State District Sides Championship gathered at the Summit Bowls Club on Saturday for a practice day. Two games were played in windy and challenging conditions. It proved to be an excellent opportunity for players from many clubs in the Southern Downs District to gel, learn a little more about each other’s game and hone their skills before the team plays in the State District Sides Championship (4 May – 7 May) at the Gold Coast. Districts teams go head-to-head in the competition for not only bragging rights, but the chance to be crowned Queensland’s top bowling district.
The competition played over four days is expected to attract around 550 players and team officials from throughout Queensland.
Last Saturday, as the district representatives polished their game, a few rinks away on the Summit green local members played two games Social Bowls.
