Victorian Women Senior Team
16 September 2011
Bowls Victoria today announced a star-studded line-up to compete in the inaugural Australian Women’s Senior State Sides Championship at Warilla and Shellharbour NSW next month.
Arriving at the composition of the three rinks to represent the state would have been an unenviable task considering the depth of outstanding candidates to choose from. However, the panel is confident it has assembled a cohesive, well-balanced and in-form state combination for the championship.
Mary-Anne Spizer from Clayton makes a welcome return to state duties and will skip the rink of Armadale sisters Denese Brick and Gail Nadelman along with Sandra McColgan from Rosebud. Spizer and Brick are three-times national pairs champions, while Brick and Nadelman have twice claimed the state pairs title. Pocket-sized McColgan won this year’s state Champion of Champions at Yallourn and will lead in this fine quartet.
The women’s championship will run concurrently with the men’s equivalent - now in its seventh year - at the Warilla and Shellharbour clubs on 18-21 October.
The Victorian contingent is:
Rink 1: Barbara Withers (Lalor) skip, Edith Grinham (Yarraville Footscray), Lorraine Steel (Yallourn), Joy McGrath (Portland RSL).
Rink 2: Mary-Anne Spizer (Clayton) skip, Denese Brick (Armadale), Gail Nadelman (Armadale), Sandra McColgan (Rosebud).
Rink 3: Joyce Lindores (Clayton) skip, Joy Johnson (Yarrawonga & Border Golf), Robyn Thomassen (Grangeburn), Pat Boyd (Warrnambool).
Travelling reserve: Patty Whorlow (Blackburn).

The girls beat Caulfield Park in a fantastic game of bowls in the final of the fours at Southern Indoors. They dropped a six early on but fought back valiantly, to be 1 shot up going into the final end where they picked up a few.
Marcelle Karro lead very well, followed by Jay Klooger and Rose-Marie Todes, both putting in some lovely bowls. Skip Leila Levy called the head well and put some nice bowls herself.
Well done ARMADALE. Great come back. It’s never over till it’s over!!!!
