Windsor 100 Classic Men’s Fours 2024 – ANOTHER GREAT SUCCESS
The annual Windsor 100 Classic Men’s Fours Carnival was held on the weekend of 4th and 5th May 2024 with a full complement of 28 team again travelled from all parts of Queensland and interstate to participate in one of the most popular bowls events on the bowls calendar. The total prizemoney of this event is $10,000.
Benny Walsh’s team comprising of Jesse Turnbull, Dave Thomas and Tyler Pettigrew jumped out of the blocks on Saturday with three commanding wins and an aggregate score of +54. Their games were tougher on Sunday drawing two quality teams skipped by Scotty De Jong and Andre Buck. Although Benny’s side got the win over Scotty in game 4, they were beaten by Andre’s quality team consisting of Jason Membrey, Brett Clark and Adam Liddell.
This opened the door for the three unbeaten teams to fight it out for the major prize of $4,000. In the end it was the Brett Wilkie’s skipped side of Gavin Maguire, Paul Holbird and Brett Tynan having a 17+ win in the last game to come out on top.
A popular part of this tournament is a powerplay worth double points that can be called by each team in every game. The team that accumulates the most powerplay points during the 5 games wins a separate prize of $500.
A massive thanks must go out to the Tournament’s generous sponsors being Neilsens Concrete, XXXX, Pure Real Estate and QBIB Insurance.
The 2025 Windsor Classic promises to again be bigger and better so pencil it into your diaries for 3rd and 4th May 2025.
Finally, a big thank you to all the bowlers who supported the event, you are the event, and Windsor looks forward to hosting you all next year.
