ACT WOMENÂ’S STATE PAIRS
The ACT WomenÂ’s State Pairs were held in April 2005 at Tuggeranong Valley Bowling Club. Once again the Canberra City Women were prominent. This year there were three CCBC teams in the quarter finals:
- Ruth Moore and Loretta Gillespie
- Wendy Small and Ruth Serpell
- Jan Taylor and Ann Streeter
In the quarter finals:
- Wendy Small and Ruth Serpell defeated Ruth Moore and Loretta Gillespie
- Jan Taylor and Ann Streeter defeated Kaylene McAuley and Roz Waters (from Tuggeranong)
Unfortunately the two City teams had to play off in the semi-finals. This was a keenly contested game up until the final few ends. The result was a win to Jan Taylor and Ann Streeter.
The final was even more tightly contested and the result was decided after TWO extra ends. Unfortunately CityÂ’s Jan and Ann were runners-up to Michelle and Di Turner from Weston Creek.
Runners-up: Jan Taylor & Ann Streeter Semi-finalists: Wendy Small & Ruth Serpell
Congratulations to all our bowlers on their performances in the Pairs.

Canberra City is very proud of Ruth Moore who won the inaugural Australian SuperSingles for Women at Moama in May 2004. Ruth kept her cool through two tight final matches, both of which went to tie-breakers. She won the semi-final against well-credentialled Western Australian Lee Poletti 15-6, 10-11, 2-0 and then won a gripping final against South Australian Jeanette Sibly 7-5, 7-12, 2-1.
Ruth was in fine company at Moama, where Steve Glasson picked up his fifth Australian SuperSingles trophy.
