Friendship Shield match

Woy Woy Bowling Club has hosted the annual Friendship Shield between the women of Woy Woy and Ettalong bowling clubs.

The shield began back in 1967 when women from both clubs got together and decided to run an event for senior bowlers.

"The game was played on October 25 in intermittent light rain and the green was very heavy with little finish," Ettalong Memorial Women's Bowling Club spokesperson Ms Maureen Kerr said.

"It became a case of who could hurl the bowl the furthest."

Ettalong won with 121 points over Woy Woy's 81 points.

Next year Ettalong will host the Friendship Shield.
