Krstic and Holt scoop Bowls WA Awards
Winners Announced at the Bowls WA Awards Night Friday May 25th Once again a capacity crowd of over 300 attended a glittering evening at Crown Perth as the season’s high achievers on and off the green were recognised and celebrated.
Hosted by the ABCs Clint Wheeldon, the evening was officially opened by Bowls WA President Kerry Andersen. Nineteen individual player, volunteer, coach and club awards were presented along with two Hall of Fame Inductions.
Kristina Krstic (Manning) and Warren Holt (Wagin) stole the show as they were crowned Champion bowlers for the season. Both also picked up awards as the State Singles winners whilst Krstic was also the Player of the Australian Series for the WA state team whilst Warren was not surprisingly also crowned the Men’s Country Bowler of the Year.
The highlight of the night was the induction of two WA champion bowlers John Ernest Gustafson and Therese Hastings into the Bowls WA Hall of Fame. Hastings received the biggest applause of the night with many friends and family in attendance.
During the evening other major award winners were also announced including John Burnett of the Geraldton Bowling Club (Volunteer of the Year), Brian Clausen from the Sorrento Bowling Club (Coach of the Year), Beacon and Busselton (Small Country Club and Country Club of the Year) and their Metropolitan counterparts in Quinns Rocks and Sorrento.
Photos, video and further articles from this event will be released via the Bowls WA Website and Facebook page over the next few weeks.
