They played in two groups of five players with the top two playing the Semi Finals then on to the final.

Semifinalists were Mia Hotson, Chris Hill, Ben Cade & Sharleyne Gay. Both semifinals were hotly contested with Sharleyne just beating Ben 21 – 19, and Chris shading Mia 21 – 16. Some great bowling which was appreciated by the spectators.

The final was a tough match with Chris winning 21 – 11 over Sharleyne.

    

It was pleasing to see the improvement in our junior bowlers from last year as the standard has increased dramatically.

NSW CHS Warilla August 2018

Camden juniors (Mia Hotson, Chris Hill, Ben Cade & Sharlyene Gay)have performed very well at the just completed NSW CHS Teams Championships held at the Warilla Bowling Club finishing in Fourth place. Mia Hotson was the Sydney South West Regions “Best Bowler” and was selected in the NSW CHS Team to play in Melbourne at the National Championships.
All the juniors played exceptional bowls and were a credit to the Camden Club and their families.

National Youth Week

As part of the “National Youth Week” program Camden Bowling Club conducted a Barefoot Bowls Day on Sunday 9th April 2017 which was attended by over 30 youth and adults from the Camden/Campbelltown areas.

The event was held with the support of Camden Council and Camden Valley Driving School for which we are grateful. Members of Camden Junior Bowls Academy (Mia Hotson, Ben Cade, Chris Hill and Angus Powell) all provided instruction to those that attended. It was pleasing to see the junior members of our club become active in the promotion of Lawn Bowls.
