North vs South Challenge – Venue and Teams Announced

by Bowls QLD

The seventh annual Bowls Queensland North versus South Challenge will be held at the Souths Suburban Bowls Club in Mackay on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 November 2024. 

Many first timers have been selected for this year’s event and will travel from across QLD for the annual showdown, this is a great opportunity to show their wares in front of Queensland selectors who will be in attendance.

The format will be separate Men’s and Women’s test series of three games, 12 players per team, three rinks of four, 21 end games, two games on Saturday (afternoon and evening) and one game on Sunday morning.
