With momentum gaining, the fever high and the talent well honed, the Junee Bowling Club is poised for what could be one of the most exciting weekends in its history. 

For the first time since 1967 the Zone 8 Sixth Grade pennant team will play in the state final, set to be held at the Narrandera Bowling Club in a three-day event. 

Hopeful the Riverina ‘home turf’ could prove to be the advantage over Picton, Killara and Kembla Heights they need, team manager Richard Thomas said the bowlers are putting away the nerves to focus on bringing home the pennant.

So who is in your Junee team? Here is the side who will represent the club. 

This team has been playing strong all year and feature the more experienced members of the Junee team. 

Team 2 comprises of some of the young blood in the Junee competition. This team came together over a mutual love of soccer, and have gone on to play bowls. 

Skipper of the team Craig Shaw is Junee’s most consistant skippers. Only in his second year of playing, he has already played in the Australian playoffs for singles. Shaw, coupled with Seton, Minister and Clark, make a formidable team who will no doubt give rival teams a run for their money. 

The Junee Bowling Club would also like to acknowledge Lyle Billingham and Jarrod Smith, who both played a part in seeing Junee to the finals, but are unable to play in the weekend’s matches. 

The club is calling on anyone interested to head to Narrandera to reinforce their home ground advantage.
