Women’s State History

Official records for Women’s state games were back dated to the 1960’s however details of some official matches were not easy to obtain and as such some players do not have games played tallies recorded against them despite being recognised as representing WA.

The Marj Morris trophy in which Australian states and territories played in a round robin format known as the Australian Sides Championships was established in 1979. Originally played in the same format as the Men with 16 players in 4 rinks the competition was changed in 1988 to a 7 a side competition with teams of fours, pairs and singles. In 2004 the championships returned to the original competition format but with 3 rinks of fours which is still the current format.

WA has won the Marj Morris trophy twice. The first in 2002 in the ACT at Tuggeranong Bowling Club with the Fours team of Bev Scott, Lee Poletti, Peg Currie and Kerry Anderson winning all 7 matches. Kathy Barter played singles winning 5 games and Roma Dunn with Noeleen Keeffe played pairs winning 3 with a draw to give WA total of 31 points for the event 5 ahead of the Australian Academy Side which played in place of NSW. The other victory in 2010 played in South Australia is unlikely to ever be rivalled. After the direct flight to Adelaide was cancelled the team got to their venue 10 hours late having gone via Brisbane and Melbourne however that was to be the only hiccup as they never lost a match during the Championships. In fact such was WA’s dominance they won 19.5 rinks out of 21 throughout the competition, with the WA Men finishing third it was the only time WA has won the overall champion state award since it was introduced in 2008.
