🎉 YAY FOR JOJO! 🎉

What would’ve been a tough game for both players, going head-to-head against a bowls buddy they’d normally be playing alongside back home! 💚

JoJo managed to get the chocolates 🍫 with some absolute rippers in the first set, before steadying herself and playing some quality bowls to close out the second.

🔥 Joelene Laukens def. Lisa Arnold
10–3 | 7–4

A great display from both Lisa & Jo 👏

Unfortunately, the livestream went down during the second set 😩 but thankfully the live scoring kept us up to date with all the action!

Next up for JoJo 👉 Natasha Van Eldik
⏰ Tomorrow morning – 8:00am

Good luck JoJo! Keep it rolling! 💪🔥

💙❤️ GOOD LUCK, JOJO! ❤️💙

Boolarra Bowls Club would like to wish the very best of luck to our wonderful President, Joelene “Jojo” Laukens, as she heads north to represent our little country club at the Australian Indoor Championships this coming week at Tweed Heads! 🇦🇺🏆

In what has been a relatively short bowls career, Jo has already achieved so much over the past couple of seasons — and it’s been absolutely amazing to watch! 👏

From the greens at Boolarra to competing on the national stage, it’s a pretty special achievement and something our whole club can be incredibly proud of. 💙❤️

Good luck, Jojo! Go up there, enjoy every moment, have some fun and give it your best.

You’ve got the entire Demons family behind you! 👹🔥

GO JOJO! GO DEES! 💙❤️
