THE second annual Euroa Electorate Bowls Competition at the Parliament of Victoria was a resounding success, showcasing an exceptional display of skill, camaraderie, and sportsmanship among participants from right across the Euroa electorate.

Thirty-three players representing 12 clubs from all over the region competed for the title of electorate champions on the state’s oldest greens, located at the Parliament of Victoria.

Local clubs including Avenel, Seymour, Seymour, Benalla, Violet Town, Murchison, Rushworth, Nagambie, Swanpool, Heathcote, Kilmore, and Euroa were represented as bowlers competed over two games of eight ends.

Nationals member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland, who organised the event with Heathcote’s Peter Cunningham, said the day was a fantastic occasion for all who participated.

“I want to thank all the bowlers who participated in an extremely successful tournament,” Ms Cleeland said.

“This tournament was a fun opportunity for camaraderie and friendly competition, with clubs joining together from all throughout the region.

“It was important to me to welcome as many people as possible to the Parliament of Victoria to experience the wonder of such an historic place and to understand the impact that decisions made here have on our community.

“I look forward to continuing to share the joy of bowls and fostering connections within the bowls community as we prepare for another exciting event next year.”

Bowlers were taken on an enlightening tour of Parliament House, met MPs from across the state, and had a delightful lunch on the Parliament’s terrace as part of their relaxed, fun-filled day.

The winning team of Jamie Greasley, Shane Drysdale, and Charmaine Reid came from Euroa Bowls Club.

Runners up were Margaret Locke, Alison Ridley, and Jenny Kreemers of Seymour Bowling Club.

Plans are already underway for another exciting event in 2026.
