Kew Bowling Club

3rd NOVEMBER, 2025

The Kew Classic Triples was played on Saturday and Sunday, with a strong field of 84 bowlers coming from throughout the Mid North Coast and the Hunter to compete for the $4,000 prize money.

Favorable weather, fantastic bowls, good organisation and most importantly great comradery made it a spectacular two day event.

Everyone that competed were winners, but a few good bowlers also managed to snag some good prize money. The major winners were:

● Des Hancox, Brian Kettels, Steve Smith (1st Place) with 4 wins, 56 ends, 66 margin

● Brad Conway, Jeff Wylie, Paul Cini/Ray Allan (2nd Place) with 4 wins, 51 ends, 42 margin

● Dennis Hare, Russell Hill, Chris Balaam (3rd Place) with 4 wins, 47 ends, 39 margin

● Trent Goffin, Jimmy Yoo, Brad Martin (4th Place) with 4 wins, 45 ends, 29 margin
