Women’s bowls
By LEA ORR
Cowabunga! All our positive vibes are channelling to our girls – Liz Byrne, Cherie Frame and Brenda Davies - who have surfed their way into the State Playoffs of the NSW Senior Women’s Triples to be held at Lennox Head next week.
We expect perfect 10’s as you enter the impact zone.
But seriously, it’s just awesome you’ve qualified.

Team Young (Irene T, Carol and Brenda) took all the swells, waves and barrels in their stride, amping up the action as Team Burridge (Ann T, Lynn and Lorraine) found the gnarly conditions difficult, paddling hard for their 6 points.

It was a case of two unique sessions on middle beach as Team Carroll (Irene A and Maureen) went fishing for the early points against Team Abberton (Ann S and Marja), bagging a good lead,16 – 3.
Positions changed at the halfway point as Lea subbed for Maureen, who was heading for the shade.
Marja took her role as lead surfer seriously, perfecting her action and ripping into the points’ deficit.
Luckily Team Carroll was saved by the bell, literally, as their rivals had the ride of their life and closed the gap, 19 – 16.
