2018 Zone 14 state championships finals will be played at SWR on week-end of 21/22 April. Port City are represented in the triples with Callum Murray-Phil Baker and Craig Donaldson playing C. Willis – H. Kirkland – K. Price (PB), and in the open singles, Callum Murray plays R. Southam (PB).

Rain played havoc with social and championship bowls this week. The semi-final and the final of the singles will have to be re scheduled as will rounds 1 & 2 of the major pairs. A real headache for Phil.

Marine Rescue Port Macquarie / Sailability – The weather gods were kind, and I believe around 150 bowlers participated. It sounds like a huge success.
