A great opportunity to win a trip to the UK, WA have had three winners in the past, David Opie, Matt Mitchell, Glenn Pauling along with Stuart Bainbridge when he played in Queensland.
Details
Kyle McIlroy has been in charge of running the W.A section of the Professional Bowls Association for the past five years.
He has done a wonderful job and because of his efforts we have seen three W.A players win a trip to the U.K. and really put W.A players on the world map so to say.
No doubt this is one of the best events of the year and well worth the entry fee when you consider what can be achieved
Kyle is inviting players to join or renew their membership
Congratulations to Kelli Rogalski
April 27, 2012
Congratulations to young 18 years old Kelli Rogalski on her selection in the Australian A team.
Having seen her in action at Broadbeach in the Sides series where she was outstanding in her role as a lead. It was here first time playing for WA in her short career
It was no surprise at all to be selected considering her form not only in the series but winning a Gold Medal in the Triples in the six a side series prior to the start of the Sides series. lets hope it is not too long before she represents Australia
Clive Adams was in sensationally good form during the Sides series also has won selection in the Australian A team. Well done Clive.

State team Bombshell at Broadbeach
April 19, 2012
Big news from Queensland, regarding State Skipper Daniel Trewhella, his place will be taken by Daniel Patterson.
Apparently Daniel Trewhella had broken a curfew and will miss the Sides series. That is all the info we have at the moment.
We have been mislead by the information that Daniel Trewhella was being sent home. This information is incorrect, he has not been sent home and is still in Qld. Sorry if we have offended
Sherro
State side changes
April 20, 2012
The State side has been changed tp accomodate the loss of State Skipper Daniel Trewhella
The rinks could be as follows
K. McIroy (sk), D. Rankin, S. Withers, N. Stevens.
J.Sharp, (sk), J.Slavich, D. Patterson, C. Packer
J.Goddard (sk), P.Harris, R. Bresland, C.Adams
This is a possible lineup, Kyle McIlroy to take the skipper role and at the same time moving Steve Withers back from 3rd to a seconds role.
Dave Rankin moves up from a seconds role in Jon Sharp's rink to play 3rd to Kyle McIlroy.
Kyle McIlroy has previously skippered for W.A way back in 2005. Kyle was the best performed skipper in Premier League this season

Kind act of generosity
April 3, 2012
from time to time we hear about the not so good side of the sport, not all that often do we hear about the good side.
There are many volunteers involved in the sport that give up hours, weeks, months and years of their time to help their Club and the game in general.
Word filtered its way to me recently that a team competing in a Bayswater carnival won $1000 first prize. They donated $500 of the prizemoney back to the Club who were fundraising for an important project. Such kindness is rare these days.
Take a bow Steve Black, Aaron Delaporte, Phil Hutchinson and Jamie Davies

Having a Ball
March 29, 2012
Sorry to say but we forgot to mention another Ball! Yes that makes 5 members of the Ball family involved in finals. We were unaware that Robbie Ball's young son Troy is also playing in the finals and if things work out he will become a pennant winner at such a young age.
We sure wish Troy and all the Ball family the best of luck in the finals
March 27, 2012
Yes sir, the famous Ball family are indeed having ball, all of them ! They have achieved much success winning many titles over the years
I am
Just wondering if this could be some kind of record.
5 of the Ball family are playing Saturday Pennants, and all of them playing in the finals and at different Clubs.
Terry --.-- finals in One Blue Sth at Warnbro.
Robbie --- finals in Six Gold at the Valley.
Troy ........ finals in Six Gold at the Valley.
Norm ---- finals in Two Red at Kardinya.
Brad -...... finals in Premier League at Doubleview.
There is one more from the Ball family.
We Forgot about sister Dale from Bolgart, who has just been involved in back to back wins for her pennant team.
No doubt about it The Ball family are a very competitive group who just love their bowls and we take this opportunity to wish them all the best next weekend in their chase for ultimate success
Well done to BowlsWA
March 28, 2012
Well done to BowlsWA, they have pulled the right lever in selecting a venue North of the river for the Premier League, One White and Blue Grand Finals
There were several good choices to select from, Yokine was chosen and there is no secret about how good their greens and facilities are.
I am hopeful that the fixtures in future will be drawn up so that the Grand Final will be played before the football season starts.
The largest crowd at the Premier League final was when no AFL football match was played on Grand final day a few years back.
All it takes is to start the season 14 days earlier like they do in other States
Sadly as far as Bowls is concerned this Sunday sees the West Coast Eagles play the Western Bulldogs in Melbourne so there is no guessing where many would have been spectators will be spending their time.

Kyley Mac has made a huge turnaround on recent previous years where his stat sheet was not good reading.

Doubleview Master Pairs Draw
February 15, 2012
It's that time of the year when the Doubleview Master Pairs which is one of the best events on the Bowling Calendar is on again.
This long running event has produced many highlights over the years.
Now in its 45th year the first Doubleview Master Pairs was won
by W. Stephens and J. Webb way back in 1967,
The 2011 Master Pairs as won by Neil Payne and Farley Anderson.
This year has attracted another high standard field with many of the combinations in with a chance to share in the chop up and take home some of the $5000 prizemoney that is available.
The draw we have has been made for both Sundays and the event will be sectional play
It is important for playerss to please read the
conditions of play, Doubleview have acted wisely to stop unnecessary player movement which has been a blight in all forms of Pairs play in the past

Duty of care
January 26, 2012
I read with interest the BOWLSWA report of the Mens State Singles Final.
Apparently neither player was perturbed about the 42 degrees heat, so obviously the weather was not considered extreme and therefore no duty of care was required.
Congratulations to both players for putting on a great show, especially to Anthony for making it title number 4.

Scott Edmonds resigns
January 16, 2012
Scott Edmonds has resigned from the State squad. It is understood that he was unable to fully commit to to the program due to work committments.
Scott was very quick to say he fully supports the Coaching panel
and believes they are on the right path going forward to the Sides series.
It is very unfortunate for Scott who was unlucky to not have made the side last year, he has been on the edge of selection for the past couple of seasons and would have been in with a big chance to represent W.A for the first time at Qld's Broadbeach Bowling Club.
Withdrawals
a fair go for all required
January 11, 2012
We spoke recently of giving Frank McGrath and fellow bowlers a fair go.
In last week's Bedford Bowl he had two withdrawals on the Friday before the Saturday start of play, the first withdrawal came at 1.00pm, tho inconvenienced Frank got on the blower and quickly arranged for another side to fill in, ok late withdrawal sorted.
Frank received another call at 6.00pm, boy of boy!! of all times to receive another withdrawal with only 15 hours till start time. Where are we going to get a replacement team in such a short time span, a team already entered and committed for the weekend now may have to miss out on getting a game.
Next morning with the event due to start there were two other sides that didn't front and no courtesy call to say why they weren't in attendance after having rang Frank to enter a side
The team that had been organized the night before was in attendance and ready to play but because of the two withdrawals and two sides not showing up, had to miss out and go home. It was very inconvenient for all concerned and rather thoughtless for fellow bowlers.
So I repeat to people who enter these events how about some consideration and a fair go for Frank and fellow bowlers before you decide to withdraw so close to start time
or those that don't bother to turn up
Letter regarding State Squad additions
January 11, 2012
Well done to you Sherro for raising the issue in the first place.
You only put to paper what most of us were thinking.
It is pleasing to see the selectors are flexible and have acted for the
greater benefit of bowls.
I am a Wings Evans fan and would be proud to see him represent our State again. He
is an absolute gentleman, accepts the umpires decision, is committed to the
game of bowls and most of all is a champion bowler.
The same could be said for Messrs Caffell and Payne.

Rule change a winner
January 3, 2012
There have been a couple of players beat the cut off time of 31st Dec 2011 to change clubs. Must say it is a good rule that keeps players playing.
North Beach player Mike Vitale has moved to the Stirling Club and Cambridge player Tony Walsh has joined Doubleview
When the rule first came into being that players could change clubs once the season has started, it was for the first five games of the season.
For what ever reason the rule was cut back to the first two games a year or two later.
That move had me scratching my head as to why they would lower it to the first two games but that is what was bought in.
The cost to change clubs for the player is $100.00
A player can now change clubs up until the 31st Dec. which could be after 8 or 9 games depending on the program for the season up till Xmas. I applaud BowlsWA for this latest initiative.

Tyrone Alberti on the move
December 6, 2011
Sth Perth Miller Tyrone Alberti is a Miller no more, he is in fact now a Mosman Mozzie.
Due to a lack of opportunity at Sth Perth where he was a regular selection last season, Tyrone decided his best option was to join the Mosman Park Bowling Club.
Having seen Tyrone in action, Mosman will certainly get value from this player.
It is pleasing to see the revision of the
rule where previously players could swap clubs up until the second game of the season, has been changed to nine games.
Everyone is a winner with this rule change and well done to BowlsWA for having the forsight to have a rule that keeps players playing, rather than the possibility of them dropping out for the rest of the season or for that matter, permanently
Stein Davies unavailable
December 6, 2011
Wannero Skipper Stein Davies, informed the Club he is not available to play pennants, for how long we do not know. We are not aware of the reason but this is a blow to the Club and their hopes of playing finals
This season he had three wins from six on the board in pennants and a semi-final placing in the State Fours
When Stein was playing at his best, Wannero were flying, he was regarded very highly in the bowling world, his future remains unknown.
Tony Kay has resumed a skippers role in place of Stein Davies.

Doubleview locker room raided
HONOUR AMONG THIEVES
November 8, 2011
Some good news for the Doubleview Bowlers who had their Bowls stolen last Friday.
They were dumped under trees nearby overnight and all have been retrieved – only minus any small change !!!
While it was a low act stealing the Bowls from the locker room, is was a good thing they were returned by who ever stole the Bowls and put in a place where they could be found.
November 5, 2011
The Doubleview Bowling Club locker room was raided by thieves last night while the Club was in full swing.
Around 12 bags of bowls, jackets and shoes have been stolen from the locker room.
Unfortunetly no one noticed the Bowls being stolen, Who would expect such a thing would occur on a Friday evening while there were people at the Club?
Bowlers in all Clubs will have to make sure they lock their lockers at all times .
This is not the first time this has occurred at a Bowling Club but is
a salutary lesson to never take anything for granted and make sure your locker is locked at all times.
Bowlers please keep an eye out, who knows, someone might spot something that could lead to the recovery of this stolen equipment.
Where will they finish in the Premier League

Robbie Ball back on the pennant scene
November 8, 2011
We reported last week that Robbie Ball was seen at BowlsWorld in Osborne Pk being fitted out for some new shoes and strides, it was for good reason, he played his first pennant game for the Valley Bowling Club.
He last played pennants for Doubleview in the losing preliminary Final at Osborne Pk back in April 2010. His comeback is good news but the result was bad news playing 3rd to Graham Falconer in 3 White, they lost 16-21 to Innaloo's Bill Swarbrick.
However it is good to see the former Super Star back playing the game

Mt Lawley Consistency Singles

September 19, 2011
A great performance by Scott Edmonds to win the Consistency
Finals 19th
September 19, 2011
Semi-finals 10.00AM Final 1.00PM
Can giant killer Bedford's mighty Max Donovan continue his fairytale run to go all the way and win the Mt Lawley Consistency? His form says yes, he was super impressive in his great performance when he put Clive Adams down for the count to progress to the semi's
Will Kyle McIlroy win his second title, a huge possibility indeed, not forgetting he has also been a runner up as well. He has the eye of the Tiger and is my selction to win the event
The Valley's Joe Rollnik is on a roll and very capable of taking out this years event after ending Matt Ellul's hopes of winning this event,
Scott Edmonds is pressing his claim, he made the semi final of the last State Singles and was a runner up in that event in 2009 also has every reason in the book to win this event.
On most occasions the winner of the Mt Lawley Consistency is selected in the State team.
Max Donovan V Kyle McIlroy

Wayne Coyle Men's State Coach
September 16, 2011
Congratulations to Wayne "Springer" Coyle on his appointment as the new men's State Coach, he replaces Brian Jepperson who was the Men's coach last season, Brian now will take on the Ladies coaching job. Assistant coach Geoff Ellis has stepped down....
Wayne played for PL with Cambridge some years back and now plays for Stirling, having done so for the last three seasons in the Premier League.
Wayne has plenty of coaching experience over the past 7 years including being the head of the development squad.
Other credits include a Country Week Singles title and also a runner up in that event to Jon Sharp along with being a runner up in the Country Week fours.
Must say that Brian Jepperson was a very likeable person who did his best for the side leaving no stone unturned in his endeavours to see the State side do well. No doubt the Ladies State team will benefit from his expertise

Wonderful evening at OP when Gary Caffell announced his intentions
August 9, 2011
The Osborne Park Saints held their Premiership dinner last Saturday evening with the majority of the players and their wifes/girlfriends in attendance.
It was a night full of fun and merriment with Ian Payne bringing the house down with his take on the season in general and the Grand Final victory.
He was able to take the mickey out of a few of the players that bought tears of laughter to your eyes.
It was a performance that will long be remembered, what a treasure they have in Ian Payne to be able to produce such an entertaining slant on the season. Players are still talking about it.
Well done to you Payney on your outstanding performance.
John Goddard also has a wicked sense of humour was also in the thick of things and we were treated to another performance from Banjo Nicol who recited his brilliant poem to great applause. All of this was combined with contributions from each of the players.
It is easy to see how the PL leadership group makes Osborne Park such a great Club to play bowls, with evenings like this that not only enhances what OP is all about, but also builds up so much camaraderie among the playing group.
It was at this function that Gary Caffell made his intentions known to the Club regarding next season.

Four rinks to stay in Premier League
June 15, 2011
The meeting with BowlsWA and the Club Presidents held at Cambridge last night saw the three rink rule that was to be in place for the upcoming season in Premier League League reversed and return to four rinks for the 2011 - 12 season. .
Apparently 5 Premier League Clubs that had originally supported the 3 rink rule reneged on their original decision and would prefer to stick with having four rinks this coming season.
They felt the decision to have 3 rinks for Premier League was too rushed and needed more time to
evaluate the proposal.
All Clubs agreed there should be be a review of this decision sometime soon.

Pennants to start earlier
July 19, 2011
At last we will be starting pennants a little earlier this coming season. This move is overdue and once again we see the new Board with their finger on the pulse so to say.
There may be bowlers that prefer the 2.00pm start time while there could well be others who would like to see an even earlier start time than the new start time .
What do our Bowlers think?

Rules Review
July 15, 2011
BowlsWA has recently completed a comprehensive review of our Field of Play Rules and the rules for Metro Pennants.
Must congratulate BowlsWA for this very timely review and taking action as soon as they have, I think most bowlers will see the common sense approach the committee have adopted to improve on existing rules.
It does make one wonder why previous Boards and committees didn't have the same foresight and acted in the same manner as this new committee which has been on the job only since last October.
They have moved very quickly to bring about some change which is very beneficial to the sport and I once again congratulate them on this initiative
