Victorian Open & O60 State Teams Announced
Bowls Victoria is excited to announce our Men’s & Women’s Open & O60s State Teams, who will compete in the first VIC v TAS Test in Melbourne next month.
It was City who took home the silverware at the second annual City v Country Series, with both the City men and women performing at their peak (and maybe with a point to prove over last year’s result), to take bragging rights this year.
The selectors have now announced the teams going on to wear the Big V, with the first Open Test taking place at Karingal Bowls Club, Victoria, 1 – 3 July, 2022 and the O60s taking on NSW in Moama, 6 – 7 August.
