Wee Waa Bowling Club kick-started their 2023/24 Zone 3 Bowls campaign open gender pennants competition in style on Saturday with a dominant victory away from home against local rivals Narrabri Bowling Club.
The two clubs met at Narrabri’s John McNamara Owen Campey Green and Wee Waa got the job done as they claimed all three rinks on their way to a 74 shots to 57 overall victory to earn the 10 competition points on offer.
There were two close contests as Wee Waa won rink one by three shots and rink three by two shots, but the main damage was done on rink two as Renee Doring, Kyne Allen, Jay Hall and Ty Baker defeated Col Armstrong, Tony Redman, Len Ryan and Scott Dewar 31 shots to 19.
