Warwick East Bowlers Sue Butz and Julie Foster have won the zone finals of the ladies’ pairs at the weekend.
The duo will now proceed to the state finals later in the year.
The result was part of a busy week for the Warwick East Club.
On Saturday in the mixed social bowls there were six games of triples.
The winners were John Harslett and Di Walsh. One of the visitors for the day, Bluey Rudd, was successful in winning a portion of the jackpot.
There will be no social bowls this coming Saturday, as most of the regulars will be playing in the pennants at The Summit.
Mixed social bowls will resume on Saturday, 24 August.
In the meantime, the club will have their monthly triples on Thursday, 22 August.
Play starts at 10am.
Nominations are now being called for our open three-bowl pairs competition to be held on Saturday, 31 August. There is a sign-on sheet on the noticeboard to register interest in participating.

The team of Barry Perks, Ray Southee and Craig Thurgate came up with the best score to win the day in the Turkey Triples on 6 August
Runners-up were Gordon Assay, Matt Shepherd and Steve Tyter just beating the team of Jim Lamb, Polly Lay and Gary Trevena in a countback, however Team Polly picked up the last round winners prize.
Early morning rain meant bowlers had to clean their bowls for the first few ends until the green dried out, however, it ran pretty well, so some excellent heads were formed.
Helen Harm Real Estate sponsored the day.
