BULAHDELAH Bowling Club has held its annual women’s tournament, the Queens of the Mountain.
In near perfect weather, it was a friendly but fierce contest.
Sixty players formed 20 teams from clubs between Old Bar and Newcastle.
Each played two rounds of 15 ends.
The initial results were so tight that three teams tied for first, resulting in three countbacks of ends.
The eventual winners for the second year in a row were Fay Southern, Carol Rashleigh and Rhonda Small from Bulahdelah.
Another Bulahdelah team came second, with Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club rounding out the third position.
“The conditions were fantastic, the people were wonderful and we had a ball,” Bulahdelah team lead Carol Rashleigh said.
The day concluded with a luncheon and many laughs.
The next big event for the club will be the King of the Mountain event held in late October.
This two-day event will field teams from as far away as Sydney.
