Tully’s Open Triples

Tully Bowls Club recently held their annual Open Triples. The event was again successful with a full green of both men and women players from throughout the Far North. Teams travelled to Tully from Ingham in the South, Innisfail in the North and Tully members were pleased to welcome three teams this year from Yungaburra on the Atherton Tablelands.

Everyone enjoyed the day, their bowls, the camaraderie and looking forward to 2024.

Only a small number of points separated the top three teams. Vice President Rod assisted with the presentation of the prizes and the drawing of the raffle.

West Cairns: Sam Rinaudo Shield

The Sam Rinaudo Shield is played in respect of the Rinaudo Family, who donate the shield and medallions.

Played over two days in sectional play of four sections to get four winners, the four play off to get the final two, who then play off for the shield which, for the first time, was won by West Cairns BC.

We played five games over the weekend and were successful winning all five games. There were some close games and we had to win our last game against South Johnstone to claim the shield. It was an excellent game throughout and we got up by eight shots to win

It was a great achievement by our club and the first time ever we had won the shield, making it more enjoyable.
