2014 Queensland Ladies Classic

This year was the 16th running of this Prestigious Event, Obviously going by the name of this Tournament it is restricted to Female’s only, So that means all the guys get to have a chance to sit back and see how the Women in Australia can bowl and really show what their made of, And I can say after being here all weekend that they didn’t disappoint, with 49 entries in this year’s event there was a very high standard of bowling from all the ladies with most of them travelling here from all over Australia.

All 49 Ladies had to bowl 16 games of qualifying to make that next step of winning the tournament by coming in the top 15 for Qualifying, The average needed to make the Top 15 was a 186, After that the ladies had to bowl another 7 games of Match play to find out who the 2014 Queensland Ladies Classic Winner (Queen) for this year was.

After it was all said and down it was Bec Whiting from Victoria that was the Queen for 2014 she had been bowling very impressively all weekend and didn’t slow down the whole time averaging a clean 206 for the weekend, in 2nd was Emma Walsh with a 199 ave and Kate Pilkington (Defending Queen) coming in 3rd with a 196 average.

I would like to thank all the Ladies that participated in this year’s event, I am confident that this tournament will be running for another 100 years and I’m sure Mary will still be around for all of them.

2014 Caboolture Open

Caboolture Open in 2014 turned out to be the biggest one we’ve ever had! With an outstanding attendance of 115 entries, Caboolture Open is part of the Touring Circuit known as The Wide Bay Tour and to my knowledge Caboolture Open has had the most in attendance this year. As always there were some mind blowing scores being thrown throughout the tournament and in the end the experienced bowlers prevailed with the Top 8 having to average 222 just to make it in.

I would like to thank everyone that bowled in this very competitive event and hope to see the numbers increase even more as the years go on.

I would like to Congratulate the bowlers that did make it into the Top 8 because the calibre of bowling was incredible the top 3 Placing’s for this years Open was Darryl Alford in 3rd averaging 222, Shayne Melton in 2nd averaging 226 and the Winner for the 2014 Caboolture Open went to none other than Jay Palmer Averaging a very impressive  227, May I add the Jay bowled a 267 in the last game to beat Shayne but 1 pin in the end so it was a very close and nail biting contest, again thanks for everyone who competed in this Fantastic Event and hope to see everyone next year.

Also Last but certainly not least I would like to Congratulate Rob Kaluci for bowling the only 300 for the Tournament.
