2024 IRRR – It’s a Wrap
Beautiful Mosman Park Bowling Club was the background for the 2024 metropolitan Women’s Inter Region Round Robin held last weekend in beautiful weather. Teams were in fine spirits with one goal in mind (well, all teams except Northern that is) and that was to beat the Northern Region!

These aspirations were squashed when Northern came through the winner of both the main event and the All Star event. The main event is where 24 players from each region (North, South Coastal, Southern and Eastern) play against each other in round robin format, each other vying for the glory of being named that year’s winners. Northern came in and swept the other regions off their feet winning with 43 points and a 138 positive aggregate – 13 points above second best Southern Regions 30 points and 34 positive margin.
