STATE SENIOR FOURS CHAMPIONS!

27 March 2024

Big congratulations to the Belrose team of (R-L) Jan Keller, Kaye Alderton (sub for Julie Baker), Maggie Murphy and Billie Maas on winning the State Senior Women’s Fours championship at Dubbo. This is the first women’s State championship for our region since Halina Wuro (also Belrose) won the State Singles in 2005.

Billie’s team had won their section (on margin) then had to dig deep in the semi-final against Warilla to claw back a 4-12 defecit, and then still faced a match-down lie on the final end, before converting to win 20-13!

In the final against Cabarita Beach, the team was again under pressure but hung in to stay in touch on the scoreboard and go into the 18th end 3-up, until a great bowl from the opposing skip punched out the two best Belrose bowls to tie the match 14-14. In the extra end, the Cabarita skip again hit her target but pushed the jack into the ditch immediately behind Belrose sub Kaye Alderton’s back bowl. When Cabarita then just missed knocking the shot bowl into the ditch, the Belrose skip was relieved not to have to play her last bowl!
