The Brunswick Heads Women’s Bowling Club has won the 2023-24 Tweed Byron District Women’s Bowling Association (TBDWBA) State Fours Championship.

The team of Kerry Dexter, Blossom McCormick, Sherril Pearce and Jenny Andrew took on Cabarita Beach in the semi-final on Wednesday, August 24 at the Ocean Shores Club.
