In Orange City Women's Bowls News, the Orange City Women's Major Singles Championship final was played in conjunction with the Open Trophy Day.

In the Singles Final, Sue Clinghan took on Helen Lord in a well-contested game under difficult conditions.

Congratulations go to Sue, who came away victorious and is the new club champion for 2026. Commiserations to Helen, who also played well. Great sportsmanship and bowling were displayed by both finalists.
