Congratulations to Brendan Gallagher, who travelled to Tweed Heads to compete in the Australian Indoor Championships. ❤️💙

Brendan went down in the first set before pushing his opponent, Sheldon Bagrie-Howley (Soldiers Point, NSW), all the way in a tense second set. The scoreline read 6-9, 7-7, with the match going right down to the wire before the result went against him.

At MCC, we’re incredibly proud of you, Brendan. Getting to this level of competition is no small feat, and you represented our club with the values we stand for.

Well done and well represented, Brendan! 👏🏼 👏🏼

🏆 A new pathway for the future of lawn bowls 💙❤️

The MCC Bowls Section, in partnership with Mount Waverley Bowling Club and Mazenod College, has launched the Elite Pathways Program to introduce more young people to the sport and create a clear journey from school participation through to competitive bowls.

Mazenod students will take part in coaching and learn the fundamentals of lawn bowls through the College’s midweek sports program, with opportunities to progress into club competition and further development opportunities through MCC Bowls.

The program welcomes players of all abilities and aims to build confidence, skills and a lifelong connection with the sport.

MCC Bowls Chairman John Kaloger said the initiative creates an exciting pathway from school and community participation through to higher-level competition, helping develop the next generation of bowlers.

We look forward to supporting the growth of junior bowls and welcoming new young players to our community. 💙❤️

Congratulations Brendan Gallagher ❤️💙

🏆 JACK MCSHANE RECOGNISED AS COMMONWEALTH GAMES AUSTRALIA'S 2025 EMERGING ATHLETE OF THE YEAR 🏆

Huge congratulations to Jack McShane on this outstanding honour!
The 20-year-old from NSW was recognised at Commonwealth Games Australia's President's Dinner in Sydney on Wednesday night, capping off a remarkable 12 months that saw him become the youngest ever winner of the World Bowls Indoor Championships men's singles title in Aberdeen, Scotland.

"Thank you so much to my corner, all my supporters, my parents, my rocks, my partner Chanel, my widest group of friends and family who support me with whatever I intend to do," McShane said during his acceptance speech.

This recognition places Jack among an elite group of young Australian athletes and follows his recent selection as a Tier 2 Scholarship recipient in the 2026 Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship and Mentoring Program.

A shining light for the next generation of Australian bowls 🌟 We are so proud of what you have done and will do 👏💙❤

Hi members,

Please note that our green is currently undergoing maintenance to ensure it remains in top condition for everyone. During this period, we ask all bowlers to please use the east and west ends only.

Your cooperation helps protect the surface while maintenance works are being completed and is greatly appreciated by the club and greenkeeping team.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

THE CUP IS COMING HOME. 🏆🥳

The Boorondara Cup? Ours. Back where it belongs.
Massive congratulations to the MCC Bowls team on an incredible win. What a day, what a group, what a club.

A huge thanks to Auburn Bowls Club for hosting us this year, you were brilliant. But next year? We’re the hosts. And we’ll be doing everything we can to make sure that cup doesn’t go anywhere.

MCC Bowls is thrilled to welcome back Jack McShane for the 2026/27 season 💙❤️

Entering his third year at the club, Jack’s commitment and drive continue to be a key part of what we’re building.

“Signing on for a third year was an easy decision. This club means a lot to me and I wasn’t ready to walk away from what we’re building. Excited to get the season underway.” - Jack McShane

Great to have you back, Jack 👊
