We have an extremeley strong Women's Club, that play with passion and most of all friendship. There are two formal playing days for the Women's Club. Tuesday & Saturday. Every Tuesday from 9.30 to Midday play takes place. The day starts with a friendly chat over morning tea prior to play. Over recent years the Committee has realised that many potential female players work during the week and are unable to enjoy a Tuesday game. It was decided to introduce a second playing day, Saturday to accommodate a wider range of players availability. Play is from 9.30 am to midday. There is also extensive coaching available from one of the best coaches in our sport Russell Butler.
If you wish to play on either day or maybe get some coaching and visitors are most welcome please call the Club on 97986666
MARINA MAKES THE MINORS HERS.
The first Championship of 2010 has been decided with Marina Deluchi winning the minor singles and Tracey Jones being the runner up. The final was a tense battle between the two rookie bowlers. They had both came through some tough qualifying matches to reach the final. In very heavy conditions and at times light rain the players had to fight hard to claim an end. Marina took the first two ends and maintained the lead. Tracey never gave up constantly niggling, and picking up one and two shots frustating Marina before she could get the Championship 31 shots. The final score was Marina 32 shots Tracey 18 shots. Well done Marina. It was a big weekend in the Deluchi household with Marina’s husband going down by just one shot in the final of the men's fours the previous day. Also many thanks to Faye Flint our Bowls co-ordinator who marked the final.

Left to Right Club Champions 2009 Beverley Pendleton, marker June Donoghoe, runner up Maria Di Rosario
Beverley Pendleton took out the Women’s Major Singles for 2009 on Saturday 4th July with a 32 shots to 16 shots win over Maria Di Rosario. It was Beverley’s fourth win in Major Singles Championships. Runner up Maria Di Rosario, who has only been playing bowls for 18 months, put up a very solid performance testing Beverley in the early stages and it seemed that an up set could be on the cards. The rookie Maria controlled the game for the first 8 ends of the total of 25 ends played, taking an early lead. However on the 9th end Beverley scored the maximum 4 shots which swung the game slightly in the defending champion’s way. Despite the 4 shots, Beverley had not completely shaken off Maria with 3 shots going to Maria on the 12th end and just 2 shots separating the pair. Beverley slowly pulled away over the concluding stages of the championship final. With Beverley now Club Major Singles Champion on four occasions she is now clearly the second highest winner of the Major Singles Championship. However Beverley will have to double her victories if she is to be the greatest all time winner. That title belongs to Peg Gordon with seven championships in 1966,1969,1971,1974,75,76 & 1982. It was also a significant match for marker June Donoghoe who performed one of her last duties as President after a three year term that saw the Ashfield Women’s Bowling Club go from strength to strength. Well played to all who partook in the Major Singles Championship for 2009

On the 19th end June Bowden's team picked up 1 shot and were still in touch. Beverley's team were able to hang on for the next two ends to get across the line by 2 shots. Well done Beverley Pendleton her 5th win in the Championship Fours and well played June Bowden's team
