Eudunda Bowls News

Eudunda bowlers were saddened to hear of the death of Mary Mader. Mary was a very active past member of Eudunda Bowling Club. She was a Ladies President, Umpire, Champion bowler, Patroness and busy worker in our club. Sincere sympathy to Bill, Jane and family.

The Ladies went to Angaston and won 56-51. Ruth Scoot had a 17-19 result against Mavis Elsworthy, however saved the day with a bowl on the last end to reduce Angaston’s six shots in the head to two, thereby cementing Eudunda’s victory. Joy Hams was down by one shot to Eileen Argent 17-18, and Judy Milde won 22-14 against Faye Bain.
