$125,000 Australian Open, Shepparton Park & Mooroopna bowls clubs, VIC.



Where the stars shine brightly!

The top-five female players on the planet will battle it out at next month’s Australian Open following the acquisition of world number one Val Smith.


In a stunning coup, the $125,000 event will not only boast New Zealand’s reigning World Champion, but each and every one of the game’s top five, including Guernsey superstar Alison Merrien (two), as well as defending champion Kelsey Cottrell (three) and her Australian teammate Karen Murphy (five).

Malaysia’s Siti Zalina Ahmad, ranked number four in the world, has also accepted a wildcard into the main draw, adding further class to what is already a star-studded field.

With the English Commonwealth Games team also in attendance, including world number 12 Ellen Faulkner, and the entire Australian squad, there is not another tournament on the globe that can boast the caliber of talent as the up-coming Australian Open.

“I’ll be giving it my best shot,” an upbeat Smith said from across the Tasman today.

“It’s a tough field. I’d love to win it.”

Having captured last year’s World Championship on home soil, Smith, who is making her first appearance at the event since 2007, is a welcome addition to the main draw and will be joined by her Black Jack teammates Jan Khan and Clare McCaul.

While Ahmad, who has won the past two Commonwealth Games gold medals, will once again return after hoisting the trophy aloft in 2007 before losing an epic final the following year to NSW’s Katrina Wright.

According to Smith, there will be no easy games on offer.


“Anyone can beat anyone on their day,” the Black Jacks ace said.

“I’ve never played at Shepparton before but it’s always nice going to a new club and hopefully I can do well.”

A multi-discipline tournament, the Australian Open features singles, pairs and triples for both men and women, with the competition running from February 14 to 20.

Thankyou for trying to find it MT79

There was a market but I reckon they've taken it down.
Maybe someone will put one up when there's 16 left or so.

Was asking because our young South Aussie 15 year old knocked off the world number 1 yesterday to make it through to the round of 32.

Was wondering what his 'odds' might be

any updates A MUM?????

Alright then...lol

Still don't know about any odds... but....

I'm mostly following the 'kids' - so not sure much about how the South Aussie adults are going.....

Yesterday one of our 16 year old girls won her first game, but lost her second game by 1 shot in a tie breaker so she's out
Today 3 of our U18 girls played in the triples and won their first game, but unfortunately lost their second so are out

Young Nathan (the one who knocked out the world No1) doesn't play again until Wednesday.

And the U18 section of the event with our other South Aussie kids starts Thursday.

I can keep you updated if you're interested

A MUM

local lad Scott Taylor - does he still play these days????

use to be at Grange with his old man - Ron or something.........

Not sure on that one MT79 - I will ask and see if anyone knows

i thought you were the Lawn Bowls queen

very disappointing

I have news MT79

Not only does Scott Taylor still play - he's still alive in the Aus Open

3 South Aussie men playing as we speak.

Ian Miller
Scott Taylor

well done A MUM

pity we couldnt get a bet on, i wouldve put a $10 on scotty

I'd love to Nathan continue on.

It's too nervewracking - I might have to ring someone who's there and find out what's going on

This is where the odds originally were before they were taken down:

Nathan would have been huge odds !

BowlsBet

I know

It's called bowls bet but they seem to have everything listed on their page

bowls bet to attract all the bowlers out there!

good marketing

ive let the JC lads know that bowls bet offer a JC service

so A MUM if those lads lose in the future you could be responsible for them and their families eating 2 min noodles

News just to hand-

Ian Miller Won (Beat Lief Selby - Australian Player)

Nathan lost - convincingly unfortunately
But what a great experience he would have had.

Scott Taylor - results not in yet

always next year for young Nathan, a real talent he will be a strong force in the years to come.

I really like his rhythm on the backhand side

Scott Taylor lost in the tie breaker.

1 South Aussie left in the market - going into round of 16

A MUM

your task for the next 12 months is to study long and hard the bowls results and form and give us an in depth preview into the Australian Open 2011

maybe bowlsbet - do international matches when they come up
