The Mount Gambier RSL Bowling Club has held its first ladies competition of the season.

Eighteen women entered the 2-bowl drawn triples competition and were drawn into teams of three players.

All teams played three games of eight ends with all bowlers showing the off season had not blunted their enthusiasm.

The winners for the day were Sharon Bruhn, Shirley McIntyre and skipper Jane Crowder.

A good fun day was had in pleasant conditions, hopefully the first of many to come.

The Thursday summer aggregate competition commenced with winners for the day being Peter Bruhn and Paul Smith.

The summer social bowls are held every Saturday.

Both competitions begin at 1pm with all nominations to be in by 12.30 pm.
