THE Lorne Bowls Club has claimed the Weekend Pennant division 2 championship in the West Coast Bowls league, defeating a strong Camperdown Magpies outfit in last month’s grand final.<\/p>\n

After falling short in the 2025 decider, the Dolphins turned the tables this season, securing a 26-shot victory to claim the title.<\/p>\n

President Jeff Reddie said the result was particularly satisfying given the strength of the opposition.<\/p>\n

“There were two Camperdown sides up until this year and they amalgamated which made them very strong,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It made the win even more credible given we were up against a very strong opposition.”<\/p>\n

Reddie said the disappointment of the previous year’s grand final loss had provided extra motivation. It made the win even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

“We got rolled last year in the grand final, so we had a bit to make up, a bit of payback, albeit a different opposition.<\/p>\n

“The whole club and the team were all keen to make amends. Having said that, it was a credible performance and they really fought it out with a desire to win.”<\/p>\n

The victory means the Dolphins will be promoted to division 1 in 2027, with the club hopeful the step up will attract some former players back to the green.<\/p>\n

“We’re hoping to get some of the younger brigade back involved again,” Reddie said<\/p>\n

“And we’ll need to do that to be competitive; division 1 is very strong.<\/p>\n

Reddie said the club’s welcoming culture was one of its strengths.<\/p>\n

“We’re a diverse club, we have diverse interests. It’s a tourist town and we have people who live elsewhere but have holiday homes down here,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We seem to all just get on really well, and the proof is in the pudding.”<\/p>\n
