Bowls WA Awards Night – FINALISTS!

by Clive Adams on May 13, 2025

Bowls WA is pleased to announce the finalists for the major awards to be presented at the Juniper Bowls WA Awards Night to be held at Optus Stadium on Friday 23rd May. Tickets are selling fast for this highlight night on the calendar, so if you’d like to be there, contact Bowls WA now to secure your place.

All the information for the Bowls WA Awards Night can be found here

Let’s go through the highlight performers from where the trophy winners will come. Remember that simply being nominated and making the list of finalists is an honour in itself and is recognition for a fine season on the green, an incredible effort off the green or a combination of both.

Bowls WA is also very pleased to confirm that, with the growth in numbers this season, the Roma Dunn Medal awarded to the Most Outstanding Under 18 Female Bowler of the Year will make its return this year!
