Victorian Schools Super Series

by Team BV

It’s a brand new concept from Bowls Victoria, giving Victorian schools and school bowlers the chance to shine on a big stage.
 

For the first time in history, Bowls Victoria will be running a Victorian Schools Super Series event, encapsulating the best bowlers from the year’s school events. 

The Victorian Schools Super Series will take place on Saturday November 25th at MCC Bowls Club (Kew) on Barkers Road from 8:30am – Noon. 
 

It will showcase the winning schools from schools bowls competitions across Victoria, drawn together by Bowls Victoria to find out who’s No.1. 

Below is a snapshot of the school events that have run so far in 2017, the events that are still yet to come, and who is eligible to play in the Victorian Schools Super Series event in the future.
