The Avenel Bowls Club have celebrated their end of season with another thrilling edition of the “Bone of Contention” – an annual battle of the sexes tournament between local players.
This year saw the men take back the bragging rights after the women held the award last year, with friendly competition and good spirits marking the day.
The Nationals’ Member for Euroa, Annabelle Cleeland, congratulated the incredible local club on another amazing season.
“Avenel Bowls Club, like so many of our local sporting clubs, plays a pivotal role in providing people with a strong sense of community, belonging, and an active lifestyle,” Ms Cleeland said.
The event drew a great crowd of members, family, and supporters, with the clubhouse buzzing with laughter, camaraderie, and a true sense of celebration.
At Avenel’s end of season event, there was also recognition for awards throughout the year – including Men’s Champion Graham Lewis, Women’s Champion Fay Hateley, Men’s Pairs David Furletti and Dennis McGregor, Women’s Pairs Donna Rowley and Marion Gittus, and Mixed Pairs David and Jenny Furletti.
Graham Lewis was also the winner of the 100 up competition.
The club now looks ahead to next season with renewed enthusiasm, eager to welcome new members and build on another successful year both on and off the green.
