Ms Diane Henderson of the Fingal Bay Women’s Bowls Club told News Of The Area, “We were winners of the Grade Three Pennants, winning against Lambton Park in the sectional playoff, which saw the Club win the coveted flag for the second time in two years.”

“The team then went on to the district playoffs at Aberdeen, only going down by one point to go to State.”

The Pennant Teams were made up of Claudia Perrine, Kerry McFadden, Helen Brunt, Ann Ible, Cheryl Johnstone, Joan McLeod, Loretta Halpin, and Margaret Gallagher.

“Jacqueline Hudson represented Fingal Bay Women’s Bowling Club at the Blind Bowls in Melbourne took out two Silver Medals and a Bronze Medal, she also won a Silver Medal at Charlestown State Bowls in October,” Ms Henderson said.
Jacky is now off to Perth in May 2019 Nationals.
