At the CHS Exchange Series held at the Port City Bowling Club, Port Macquarie, two of our juniors were competing in various teams. Sam Dukes playing for the CHS team won Silver and Bronze medals while Mia Hotson playing for the Zone 5 Development team played well and caused an upset beating the NSW State Fours team in the round robin.
A great effort and experience for our junior bowlers.

The Sydney CHS South West Region Triples championship was recently played at St Johns Park Bowling Club with 16 teams competing over the two days. After the first day of round robin the Elderslie High School No 1 team (Brianna Smith, Sam Dukes & Josh Lord) were in number 1 position with Elderslie High School No 2 team (Chris Hill, Ben Cade & Rebecca Lord) in number 3 position.
After the quarter and semi finals the two Elderslie teams fought out the final with the more experienced team of Brianna, Sam & Josh winning 13 – 6. A great result for the local school with Sam, Chris & Ben being members of the Camden Bowling Club.
Well done to Elderslie High School.

The Zone Junior Championships were held at the Lawson Bowling Club during the school holidays and three members of our Club competed, Sam Dukes, Zane Droscher and Mia Hotson.
Sam had an outstanding carnival winning the Zone 5 Singles Championship in a very hard fought match against Thomas Holburn of Glenbrook played to an exceeding high standard of bowls which impressed the large number of Lawson club members who were watching. Zane placed fifth and Mia ninth in the singles. A great result for the Club.
Sam, along with Brodie Halls (Goulburn Railway), Kane Shorter (Kingswood) and Jack Parker (Wisemans Ferry) played another outstanding game to win the Zone 5 Fours Championships. Sam showed his leadership skills in taking out the title.
Sam has now qualified for the State Titles to be held at Warillia Bowling Club in June.
Also Sam, Zane and Mia have been selected in the Zone 5 7-a-side Team to compete at Dubbo Bowling Club in August.
All in all a great result from the Camden Juniors.
