Three Umina Beach bowlers became the clb’s first team to win the NSW RSL State Triples Championships on March 27.
Ray Kaltenbacher, Rob Merrill and Colin Mew won the 2025 the Zone 5 RSL Triples Championships at Davistown RSL Bowling Club in January.
They then went on to contest the State play-offs at Bateau Bay Bowling Club in March.
After two days’ play, they entered into the final on March 27 for the State Title and were successful in the final, defeating the team from Taree (Zone 8) 24-14.
Competitors from other RSL Bowls Zones from across the State competed, including teams from Taree, Figtree, Dee Why, Beresfield, Urunga, Camden, Bermagui and Engadine.
The win was a wonderful morale boost for Mew who will represent the Central Coast at the NSW State Championships in Ballina in coming days in the Open Reserve Pairs and alongside Merrill in the Open Reserve Fours.
Bill Stephenson of Bateau Bay RSL Bowls not only acted as umpire for the two days but was responsible for the organisation of the event with the Club’s Venue Manager and Bowls Co-ordinator.
