CLUB UPDATES

Best of Luck, Steve!

After being selected in the Bioscapes NSW Blues Senior Men’s Team earlier this year, Steve Vanderveer is now just days away from representing NSW against Victoria.

Steve will head to Deer Park Bowling Club next Monday, 17 August, for the first of a three-match interstate series, with the series continuing across 17–18 August.

It’s a fantastic achievement and a huge honour for Steve and Castle Hill Bowling Club, and we know he’ll represent NSW and the Club with pride.

Best of luck, Steve! Everyone at Castle Hill Bowling Club will be cheering you on as you take on Victoria.

Lan Lim at Australian Indoor Championships

A fantastic effort from Lan to make it through to the National Finals. Well done, Lan!
