Junior News Full Steam Ahead
In the last few months many juniors have achieved great success on the bowling green. A few weeks ago Breeanna Dickson made it to the third round of the Queensland Open Singles when she defeated some well known bowlers on the circuit. Continuing her great form she then competed in the Junior Nugget Singles at Tweed Heads where she qualified to the Quarter Finals.
Along with Breeanna were another two outstanding performers Matthew Northcott and Danielle Fuss, both placing in the top four finishers. It is a credit to Danielle and her dedication to bowls that she finished in third place. All the SA players that competed in the event should be very proud of themselves as they represented their State with great pride and dignity.
