The last two club matches were played last Sunday in front of large turnout of supporters. After a very wet night and morning, the rain gods were kind enough to allow for a dry and sunny afternoon. As has been consistent all season, the green was in magnificent condition even after all the rain and is a testament to green keeper Spud Furletti’s hard work.

Donna Rowley and Jake Wall played off in the final of the mixed pairs against Grace Kenworthy and Dennis McGregor. Donna and Jake combined beautifully to bring home the win with consistent and accurate bowling.

Congratulations to all for providing a first class final and to Donna for her first club championship win.

In the final of the Mixed 100 Up, for the first time it was a mixed final with Kate Donovan flying the flag for the ladies playing against Howard Geldard. In a closely contested game the score was 97 all on the 23rd end. The last end could not have been closer with all eight bowls surrounding the kitty. Kate had shot and third shot bowl and the 6 – 4 end win gave game victory to Kate. Congratulations to both bowlers for a very entertaining and thrilling match.

Closing day is to be held on Sunday 23 April. Proceedings start at 2pm with the traditional Bone of Contention Bowls match, Ladies vs Men. The girls are all revved up to win the bone back off the men this year. So, get on board everyone, game on!

Following the game, the presentation to this season’s club champions will take place followed by a casserole tea to celebrate and wrap up season 2022/23.

History was made at Lakerland on the weekend with the first ever Under 11's netball team who made the club proud with the win. Well done girls.

The Lakers WOMENS football side played their first game in Tatura. Unfortunately the girls ended up going down but they all played really well.

There was lots of support on the sidelines which was wonderful to see.

The future at lakerland is very bright.
