Bowls: Busselton Bowling Club dominates prestigious ladies’ event in Bunbury

Busselton Bowling Club picked up an impressive quinella at the prestigious Bunbury Ladies Classic carnival on Sunday.

Held at the Bunbury Bowling Club, the carnival has become a staple for more than three decades.

The feel-good story of the event was easily Judy Rice — who along with her teammates, Gail Botting, Sue Blyth and Linda Burgin — tasted victory in special circumstances.

“This is the first time I have ever won a Classic — and I have been coming here for 26 years,” Rice said.

“So thank you, Bunbury, as this really is a sensational Classic to play in. I particularly like the fours and pairs as it makes it very interesting.

“Bunbury really does a great job. We appreciate it and we know what it is like having to run a Classic — it is hard work.

“Thanks as well to all of the girls we played with and met. There were some lovely girls over the two days and we had a lot of fun.”
