Congratulations to Kate Baker for winning the Minor Single Championships that was played at Brunswick Heads Bowling Club.

Kate and her worthy opponent, Judy Smith, were both fraught with injuries going into the game.

One had a stretched calf muscle and the other back pains. But like true professionals, they continued to play.

Both played to a very high standard, and by the 18th end, they were even at 14 each.

Over the next seven ends however, Kate was able to pull further ahead with the end result being 21 to 16. Thank you to Margaret Darby (our president), for being the marker for this match.

This was Kate’s first year of playing, so we can all see a future star in the making.

Kristine Pryor is Publicity Officer of Brunswick Heads Women Bowling Club.
