| Bowls Super Challenge originated
following the unsuccessful applications to the Premier League
Competition by many clubs, including Booval, Mooloolaba, Ridgewood
Heights and Kallangur. Delegates from these clubs met primarily
to discuss the movement of players and the snowball effect this
would have on smaller clubs. Super Bowls Challenge, a twelve
man team consisting of fours, two bowl triples, two pairs and
a singles concept emerged from this meeting. An Executive Committee
consisting of Richard Harris, Phil Keats, Tony Johnson, Geoff
Williams and Geoff Brown (Treasurer) was appointed.
In the first year 18 clubs contributed $1,000 and with the backing of Carlton United Brewery competition commenced on the 5th February 2000 with three sections of six teams. The 18 teams were Section 1 - Kawana Waters, Mooloolaba, Maroochy Beach, Coolum Beach, Nambour and Caboolture. Section 2 - Bramble Bay, Sandgate, Toombul, Sunnybank, Redlands and Booval. Section 3 - Pine Rivers, Kallangur, Everton Park, Scarborough, Ridgewood Heights and Wynnum-Manly Services.
Booval, Ridgewood Heights and Mooloolaba
were the Section winners. Runner-ups Maroochy Beach, Kallangur
and Toombul played a Round Robin to make up a final four with
Maroochy Beach being successful. In an exciting finals play
off at the Pine Rivers Club, Maroochy Beach were able to shed
the underdog tag and win the Kevin Henrick Cup. It was a very
proud Neil Henricks and his Bowlers Paradise team who presented
the Cup to the highly excited Maroochy Beach team.
Such was the acceptance of Bowls Super
Challenge in their first year throughout the districts, they
are now sanctioned by the RQBA.
Success bred success and the 2001 Bowls Super Challenge competition boasted 48 Mens teams and 42 Ladies teams, vying for prize money in excess of $72,000
