2024 Bowls NSW Awards Night Winners
The 2024 Bowls NSW Awards Night brought together players, coaches, administrators, and passionate members of the bowls community to celebrate the remarkable achievements and contributions of our members. Held at Wenty Leagues, this annual event highlights the hard work, dedication, and passion that drive the sport of bowls forward in New South Wales.
We extend our warmest congratulations to this year’s winners and thank everyone who joined us on the night to celebrate these incredible individuals and clubs.
