AARON KELLY IMPRESSES AT NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES
Aaron Kelly produced an outstanding performance at the National Development Series, finishing fifth on the player ladder an excellent individual result in a high-quality field. Representing Team Red, Aaron remained composed when the pressure was on and his ability to stay focused, respond after difficult ends and remain fully engaged in each contest were highlights of his performance.
Team Red pushed Team Yellow all the way before narrowly going down, further underlining the quality and competitiveness of Aaron's campaign. He can take great confidence from an impressive series against some of the country's leading development bowlers.
STATE PENNANT FLAGS UNFURLED
Today we proudly unfurled the 2025/26 NSW State Pennant flags won by our Division 3 Women and Grade 6 Open sides. Our Division 3 ladies produced a determined and consistent championship campaign, combining strongly across all rinks and handling the pressure of the State Finals to bring home a thoroughly deserved title.
The Grade 6 Open side remained undefeated throughout the championships, winning all three sectional matches at Lennox Head before continuing their outstanding run through the finals at Ballina. In the State Final against Seaforth, South trailed 37-45 after 45 ends before mounting a tremendous comeback to win 59-51. Two outstanding campaigns and two thoroughly deserving State Pennant winners.
