Congratulations and thank you to everyone who competed in the Queensland State Championships over the past 2 weekends.
As a bowler it was a great weekend, challenging but not unscorable pattern and a great format.
As a first time tournament committee member it was certainly a different experience, thank you to Ray Trenham, Jacinta Gilliland, Brian Bates, Caboolture Bowl and the staff, Andrew Shinnie and Morty Douglass for all their time, effort and support over the past 3 months to organise and run the event. All of these people are volunteers who spent (on the most part) over 50 hours each at the bowl over the past 2 weekends but I would hate to think how many hours in the lead up. Without people like this events like this wouldn't happen.
There was some great bowling over both weekends with the masters champions of at least one division in each masters final being decided in the 10th frame. Congratulations to the following people for winning their respective divisions:
Open - Kate Pilkington and Brad Reggars
Restricted - Shelley Allen and Tyrone (Tigga) Watson
Seniors - Narelle Qualischefski and Steve Solman
Comprehensive results of each event, division and the masters finals will be posted later today.
Thank you again to those to competed, looking forward to making next year bigger and better again.
Thanks Bee
