Glennis Godden is Narrabri Women’s Bowling Club’s under-5-years comp champion for the 2023 season after defeating Janice Foxe in the decider at the Narrabri Bowling Club last week on Thursday.
Godden won the match 25-10 across 24 ends.
The eventual champion got off to a great start and led 7-nil after five ends, but Foxe rallied as she won three of the next five ends, scoring a one each time.
However, Godden then created an unassailable lead as she claimed five ends in a row to lead 20-3 before she eventually won the match 25-10.
That meeting was the duo’s second in the competition in as many years after they went head-to-head in 2022 in a semi-final clash.
Foxe won that game 26-17 after 22 ends of play to advance to the decider in her first year playing the sport, but she lost the final 25-20 against Carol Demamiel.
Local bowls fans will be watching eagerly in 2024 to see if Foxe can make it through to a third consecutive final.

Doug Mackereth, Trish Allison and Di Chessells beat Bruce Tomlinson, Rhonda Fitzgerald and Kay Carolan 22-12; Colin Armstrong, Val Falkiner and Lyn Wedesweiler downed Carolynne Tomlinson, Janet Coleman and Berice Eather 20-9; and Ronnie Dewar and Helen Woodward defeated Carol Demamiel and Lyn Tuckey 28-7.
