BPL23 program

#BPL23 MOAMA BOWLING CLUB

FEBRUARY 16-20, 2026

WELCOME TO

#BPL23 On behalf of the Board and staff of Bowls Australia, we are delighted to welcome players, teams, partners and fans back to the Bowls Premier League.

The bowls fraternity will once again descend on Moama Bowling Club for the 23rd edition of this made-for-television event, which continues to set the benchmark for elite bowls competition.

As the first major event on the 2026 calendar, BPL23 promises a sensational atmosphere across each day and night of competition, with some of the world’s best bowlers taking centre stage.

The most recent edition delivered the most competitive tournament yet, with the introduction of two new teams further

raising the standard and intensity of the competition. That momentum continues in 2026, with fans set to enjoy another highly contested battle for a share of the $110,000 prize pool.

With extensive live streaming and more than 24 hours of broadcast coverage across Fox Sports Australia, Kayo and Sky Sports New Zealand, the Bowls Premier League remains one of the sport’s most powerful and engaging products.

The atmosphere created by players, fans and teams at this event continues to exceed expectations. It is a truly world-class showcase for bowls and one that continues to grow with each edition.

Bowls Australia extends its sincere thanks to the officials and volunteers who will work tirelessly throughout the week. Your contribution is invaluable and central to the success of this event.

We also thank the Board and staff of Moama Bowling Club for their ongoing commitment and professionalism in bringing the Bowls Premier League to life as host venue.

Finally, we acknowledge and thank Bowls Australia’s partners whose support makes this event possible.

In particular, we recognise our BPL team licensees and their partners, host venue Moama Bowling Club, and BPL event partners TripADeal, KenoGO, Aero Bowls, Audika, BCiB and MakMax. Bowls Australia also acknowledges the ongoing support of our high-performance partners, the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Institute of Sport and Commonwealth Games Australia.

BPL23 After the traditional short turnaround from October's BPL22, the attention now turns to the brilliant Moama Bowling Club for the 23rd edition of the Bowls Premier League (BPL).

More history is on the line for a plethora of teams on the Murray with plenty on the line as the competition gets closer with each passing edition.

The home franchise in the Moama Steamers will be striving to back up their scintillating display from Club Pine Rivers as they look to join the Tweed Ospreys with five titles overall, the most in tournament history.

Aron Sherriff will be on the hunt for a seventh title as a player, while Cass Millerick and Matt Baus will look to add more silverware to their growing collection in Kevin Anderson's lineup.

After falling to the Steamers in an epic decider a few months ago, the Sydney Lions will also be vying for win number five at the BPL with an unchanged lineup of reigning MVP Nathan Black, BPL22 Grand Final MVP Karen Murphy AM and Jackaroo Kane Nelson with brilliant tactician Steve Glasson OAM in the coaching chair.

The Lions and Steamers will be looking to match the Ospreys on five wins, but the Club Tweed franchise will be brimming with confidence with another unchanged team of six-time champion and three-time MVP Aaron Teys alongside former MVP Corey Wedlock and five-time winner Chloe Stewart under the guidance of Wayne Turley OAM. After reaching the finals for the first time

since BPL12, the Perth Suns will bid to crack through for that elusive finals win after a straight sets exit in Queensland.

Bolstered by a scintillating performance by All Star Kristina van Nierop and joined with the consistency of Carl Healey and Ben Leggett, Bill Brandsma's team might have the right recipe to go deep.

Last year the Geelong Jets were the talk of Moama, dominating right until the final before going down to the Gold Coast Hawks in the Grand Final.

The unchanged team of champion and MVP Aaron Wilson, BPL21 MVP Paul Foster MBE and Jamie-Lee Worsnop under coach Matthew Flapper will be looking for one result only, the title.

One of the few playing changes has occurred at BPL23 and that is for the Hawks, with Brett Wilkie coming in for Nick Brett to join two-time champions Nathan Rice and Kelsey Cottrell in Mark Thatcher's team.

Another team that has featured prominently on the Murray in recent years are the Melbourne Pulse, who again go with the same team of three-time winner Ellen Fife, BPL19 MVP Gary Kelly and Barrie Lester with Jeremy Henry as coach once more.

Their cross town rivals in the Melbourne eXtreme will see the return of Kelvin Kerkow OAM as coach for Marc Bullows, with the team of Jackaroos Jack McShane, Nick Cahill and Brianna Smith returning to the Club Sunbury franchise.

After missing the finals for the first time since BPL17, the Adelaide Pioneers will back themselves to jump back into the five with one change as Kelly McKerihen lines up for Katelyn Inch for her BPL debut to

team up with two-time MVP Scott Thulborn, Wayne Ruediger and Katelyn Inch with Les Carter back in as coach for Dan Flanagan.

The Moreton Bay Pirates will also be with a new coach as two-time BPL player Aaron Hewson comes in for Ali Forsyth with two-time MVP and champion Alex Marshall MBE returning alongside Ryan Burnett, with a late change of Jessie Cottell coming in for Selina Goddard for her first full campaign.

Two-time MVP and three-time champion Ryan Bester is back at the BPL but in a coaching capacity for the Sydney Saints.

The 300-gamer takes the mantle held by Gerard Beath with three-time winner Ben Twist, two-time All Star Dawn Hayman and England's Jamie Walker all back for the St Johns Park franchise.

Finally, despite finishing on the bottom of the table at Club Pine Rivers, the Tasmania Tridents will be buoyed by the fact that their net sets were even despite winning just eight matches across the event.

Two-time All Star Rebecca Van Asch is back, as is Taelyn Male, joined by newcomer Codi Marshall, with Chris Dudman as coach as the Tridents aim to reach the finals once more.

BPL23 runs from February 16-20, 2026 at the Moama Bowling Club, with live streaming to take place on Bowls Australia’s YouTube channel.

ADELAIDE PIONEERS’ WINNING FORMULA Having missed the finals for the first time in five events, the Pioneers will be desperate to rectify BPL22 and aim to bring the trophy to South Australia for the first time.

Two-time MVP and five-time finalist Scott Thulborn will lead the charge once more with his long-standing teammate of Wayne Ruediger, with the pair possessing an innate ability to play at both front and back end.

Add Kelly McKerihen to the team, presenting a mouthwatering combination of power and precision that will no doubt prove fruitful under the guidance of returning coach Les Carter.

GEELONG JETS WINNING FORMULA Following a dominant tournament before a Grand Final loss last February and a fourth place in October, the Jets will be out for redemption under the guidance of Matt Flapper.

Reigning MVP Paul Foster MBE will stride back into the competition with confidence after one of the most scintillating and versatile displays by an individual in Moama at BPL21.

Aaron Wilson has won the event and taken home the MVP award, knowing exactly what it takes to conquer such a mentally and physically gruelling week.

He can star at both the front and back end, while his fiancée Jamie-Lee Worsnop is in sensational form in her own right.

With this versatile trio, the Jets will back themselves to contend once more.

GOLD COAST HAWKS’ WINNING FORMULA The Hawks responded from a wooden spoon at BPL20 to conquerors at BPL21 before sitting outside the five again in October.

Brett Wilkie comes back into the Hawks lineup for Nick Brett, and will look to pounce on some of his recent form to help get his team back into the finals.

He joins Kelsey Cottrell and former Australian star Nathan Rice, both of whom know exactly what it takes to win the trophy.

All three bowlers boast a scintillating repertoire, with the ability to turn from power to precision on a dime. The Hawks will again be hard to beat if they’re firing on all cylinders.

MELBOURNE EXTREME’S WINNING FORMULA The eXtreme were had a combined positive ledger across both events in 2025 but failed to make the finals, so it will be right to say that Kelvin Kerkow OAM’s team will be determined to make the leap into the five for the first time since BPL20.

Nick Cahill, Jack McShane and Brianna Smith gelled together brilliantly in their first tournament as a trio, with tiebreaks the ultimate enemy for the Club Sunbury franchise.

The squad boasts a a youthful exuberance that others may not be able to rival, with an insane knack of producing clutch bowls under enormous pressure. Watch out for the eXtreme if they get going.

Lorem ipsum

Former MVP Gary Kelly is in supreme form and will look to continue that into another event with a healthy mix of power and accuracy that is daunting for any opponent.

Ellen Fife is one of the more relaxed characters on the green, with an ability to play with power and precise touch.

Balance that with the skillset of Barrie Lester and the team is looking like a strong unit.

The Moama Steamers are owned by the magnificent Moama Bowling Club on the EchucaMoama border which in recent years staged the inaugural World Bowls Challenge, in addition to BPL11, BPL12 and BPL14, BPL15 and BPL17 events.

The award-winning facility now boasts three international standard greens, one tifdwarf grass and two undercover woven-carpet synthetic, nestled within the highest quality facilities for their bowlers and spectators.

The Moama Steamers are three-time winners of the BPL and have been one of the most consistent performing franchises.

MORETON BAY P PIRATES’ WINNING FORMULA Following the team’s Grand Final appearance in February 2024, the Pirates have struggled to get going, missing successive finals series from BPL20-22.

Returning is two-time MVP Alex Marshall, who will be striving to propel the maroon squad back into the finals in the team’s quest to win a third title at the competition and first since BPL08.

Ryan Burnett returns for another crack at glory, while Jackaroo Jessie Cottell comes in for Selina Goddard for her first full campaign after a mini debut with the eXtreme. This team poses plenty of X-Factor and might be one of the surprise packets on the Murray.

PERTH SUNS’ WINNING FORMULA The Suns finally ended the hoodoo of finals misses after an inspired event saw them finish second on the table before a straight sets defeat, still leaving the team without a finals win.

Kristina Van Nierop was imperious in November, earning her maiden All Star cap thanks to a supreme tournament where she skipped the opening set across every matchup.

Carl Healey was his consistent self at Club Pine Rivers, while debutant Ben Leggett looked mightily comfortable in the pressure cooker environment.

Bill Brandsma’s team has not made the finals at Moama since BPL12, could this be the event where they rectify that?

SYDNEY LIONS’ WINNING FORMULA It was heartbreak for Steve Glasson’s Sydney Lions in February, missing out on a fifth title once more at the hands of the Steamers in the BPL22 decider.

Two-time MVP Nathan Black produced another iconic tournament Pine Rivers and he will be striving to replicate that success as he chases his maiden BPL title.

Karen Murphy remains a lock in this famous franchise, being a part of all four titles it has won, while the in-form Kane Nelson remains in the team looking to add more trophies to his collection.

All of the squad are unflappable in high pressure situations, which makes for an intriguing proposition for the rest of the competition.

Three-time winner and 300 gamer Ryan Bester makes his coaching debut, bringing a wealth of knowledge about how to win this tournament.

Dylan Fisher was mightily impressive in his return to the tournament and carries brilliant form into Moama, posing a huge threat for the opposition.

Coach Chris Dudman would be bullish about the team’s chances and if they are up and about, it will be hard to stop the Apple Isle.

The Bowls Tasmania-owned Tridents secured the licence in the biannual competition from 2022, through funding contributed by the Tasmanian Government as part of an Election promise and have filled their roster with an all-Tasmanian line-up headlined by the state's preeminent player, Rebecca Van Asch.

The three-pronged Tridents moniker was chosen to represent the three regions of Tasmania and the three Tasmanian players that will carry the state's hopes on the national stage.

Tasmania long wanted to be part of the BPL competition; the provision of a pathway for bowlers in the state to progress their bowls and aspire for greater rewards has been limited in the past; the BPL now provides that vehicle for which Tasmanian players can now showcase the tremendous talent from within their state.

Chloe Stewart is in scintillating form herself and relishes all conditions, with ultra consistency bound to come from her deliveries.

The Tweed Ospreys entered the BPL for the first time at the BPL10 event in November 2019 at Club Pine Rivers and left the Brisbane-based club with the title. Led by experienced BPL star Aaron Teys, the Ospreys were the standout at BPL10, both on the green and off it, with sky blue supporter wear littered among the stands. The Ospreys amassed three titles from their first four events.

Club Tweed, the mega NSW/QLD border club, is a familiar venue to the Australian bowling fraternity, as the home of the prestigious Australian Indoor Championships and Golden Nugget events.
