Big weekend ahead for State Singles hopefuls

by Clive Adams on January 24, 2025

50 men and 16 women remain in the race for the coveted Dyenamic Sublimation State Singles Championship titles as a big Australia Day weekend of bowls will determine our winners. On Saturday, those that progressed safely through the sectional play and first knockout round last week, some through some thrilling matches, face off at Osborne Park and Sorrento, before heading to Wanneroo on Monday to find our 2024/25 champions.

Bowls WA will be live streaming the finals day from Wanneroo on Monday, starting with a men’s quarter final match, before the women’s final and finally, the men’s final. All will be available via Streamer and Bowls WA’s Facebook page from 9.30am on Monday.
