𝗘𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗦 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗟𝗗

Marlin Coast Bowls Club was proud to host the Eileen Stevens Shield this year, honouring Eileen through a day dedicated to the sport and community she loved.

What a wonderful turnout, with 64 players coming together to contest the Shield! Alongside players from Marlin Coast and Mareeba, we welcomed friends from Silkwood, Yungaburra, Atherton, Edmonton and Edge Hill. It was fantastic to see so many clubs represented, bringing together familiar faces and a shared love of bowls.

Two teams battled it out across two games of 12 ends, with some outstanding bowling on display throughout the day. This year, it was Marlin Coast who took home the Shield, finishing with a combined score of 𝟭𝟵𝟲 to Mareeba's 𝟭𝟳𝟰. Congratulations to our MCBC team!

A day like this takes plenty of people working behind the scenes, and we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success.

A special thank you to:

Terry from MCBC and Joy from Mareeba for bringing the teams together and ensuring we had full sides representing both clubs.

The selectors from both clubs for their work in organising the teams. Shane, who was up bright and early with a 6.30am start to get the green prepared for the day. The ladies who worked in the kitchen preparing the delicious afternoon tea, with thanks to everyone who generously contributed something for the table. Tony, whose raffle-selling skills helped make sure we had a sell-out, and to our bar staff for jumping in to quench the thirst of the long line that formed at the conclusion of the event.

And, of course, to all of the players and spectators who came along and made the day what it was.

Thank you, everyone, for being part of such a memorable Eileen Stevens Shield.

Yesterday saw six ladies take to the green to compete for the Ladies B Grade title, and what a fantastic standard of bowling was witnessed throughout the competition!

A big well done to all six ladies who participated and helped make the competition such a success. And thank you to Terry for organising the event and making it all happen. 🌟

Congratulations, ladies!

WHITE LADY FUNERALS MEMORIAL DAY

What a wonderful and meaningful day at Marlin Coast Bowls Club yesterday being our first White Lady Funerals Memorial Day.

However, the day was about more than just a game of bowls. It was an opportunity to come together as a club, remember all our members who are no longer with us, and celebrate the memories, friendships and contributions they have left behind.

These are the people who helped shape our club, shared countless games and laughs, and created friendships that are still part of who we are today. It was lovely to take a moment to remember them and celebrate the memories that will always have a place in our bowls family.

A huge thank you to Tania, Bel and Nic from White Lady Funerals, and Lee, for your time, generosity and sponsorship of this event. We sincerely appreciate your support in creating an occasion where we can honour and remember our past legends.

and ....... thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success!

To all our players, thank you for coming along and being part of this special occasion. To those who contributed the afternoon tea, bar staff, kitchen and raffle helpers and our green keeper thank you for all your work behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. These days don't happen without a team of people pitching in, and we appreciate every single one of you.

It was a wonderful reminder that our club is about so much more than bowls. It’s about the people, the friendships and the memories we share.

Our winners for the day:

1st: Clive, Jerram & Jen
2nd: Mike, Bel & David
3rd: Crackers, Kaye & Barbara
