The final day of Winter Bowls for 2026, Wednesday 2 September, was a joyful affair, with plenty of good bowling accompanied by arm waving, high fives and good-natured banter.
Karen Esdale, resplendent in a blazing red top, produced enough exuberant gestures to fill a highlights reel of her own.
Dirk de Jong and his immediate opponent Cheryl Saunders may have been mismatched in height, but they were very evenly matched when it came to demonstrative gestures.
Deano Pye apparently flipped a coin and decided to leave his bowling arm at home. The ever-stylish Peter Quick, however, remained faithful to his.
Joanne Kirby and Fiona Mansfield had an intriguing battle, producing one of the photos of the day—their two chalk-marked bowls nestled against the jack.
Mocha Dunstan and Steve van der Veen led the high-fiving, ensuring good bowls received the celebrations they deserved.
And bon vivant Dave Paley constituted the day's entire spectator gallery.
Good bowls, good humour and plenty of theatre—a fitting way to bring Wednesday Winter Bowls for 2026 to a close.
