Club Maroochy led the region’s lawn bowls scene last week, hosting their Men’s and Women’s Club Fours Championships.
Both finals were of high standards, with more than 200 spectators appreciating the tightly-contested events.
The victorious women’s team consisted of Jan Sullivan, Chris McGarrity, Chris Twist and Jo Inch, while the winning men’s winning team included Richard Scott, Paul Slatter, Peter Wright and John Crisp.
The runners-up were led by Jill Guthrie’s women’s team and Mal Overend’s men team, who were valiant in defeat.
It’s one of only three clubs in the region that still has three grass greens.
