Celebrating 50 years of Buckworth Shield

Everglades Bowling Club has celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Buckworth Shield.

Established in 1969 in honour of Lorna Buckworth, and held annually ever since, the shield is contested by women's clubs across the Central Coast Bowls Zone with the previous year's winner made the hosts of the event.

This year that honour fell to Ettalong Bowling Club.

The Everglades team of Beryl Barber, Elizabeth Milton, Sandra Newell, Maureen Micallef, Maureen Carlyle, Brenda Rae, Marie Woodbine and Wendy Moore took out the 2019 shield.

"It was a great day," said Everglades publicity officer Ms Fay Boyd.
