19th September, 2025.
Bowls Victoria is pleased to announce the State Para Sides who will compete in the Australian Para Nationals at The Nationals 2025.
To be hosted by Bowls Australia at Burnie Bowls Club, Tasmania, The Para Nationals are scheduled for 11th -15th November, 2025.
Congratulations to the following athletes:
| Women | Men |
| Stella Durdin* | Josh Barry |
| Alison East | Lucas Protopapas |
| Annette Ruffle | Josh Thornton |
*Denotes Debutant
The State Para Side will welcome Stella Durdin on debut for the Championships. Stella will join an experienced Side that enjoyed mixed success against NSW in the recent State Side Series. The Men’s Side will be looking to continue their strong form, while the Women seek to improve on their two Tests to one loss. There are many positives for the Women’s Side having taken the Series to a decider in the third Test.
The Side will be coached by Ian Ewing and Matt Flapper, with the expert support of Carol Protopapas.
Go Vics!
