Nearly 450 competitors from right around Tasmania have entered the first of the 2021 Bowls Tasmania State Championships, which gets underway this Sunday in Southern Tasmania.
Players will battle it out in the following events:

The event will be hosted by the Beltana Bowls Club, with other support venues including Howrah, Rosny Park, Claremont, New Norfolk and Buckingham Bowls Clubs.
Bowls Tasmania CEO, Rebecca Van Asch is thrilled to see bowlers register, particularly after such a challenging 2020.
“Overall entries are up 25% on last year, with the Men’s and Women’s Triples up 30% & 20% respectively, and we have seen a similar increase in the Mixed Pairs”, Van Asch said.
“We also have nearly 130 entered in the Juniors and Bowling Arm Singles & Pairs which is fantastic,” Van Asch added.
