Navy defeated Army in a close final match, 83-76. In their first match against Air Force they won 84-68.
Standout performer for Navy was ABCSO Kaitlin Shaw, of HMAS Albatross.
This was her second time playing in the nationals, winning the Navy best lead, nationals best performed lead and gaining selection in the national triservice squad, along with 10 other Navy players.
She said the ADF competition was the highlight of her eight years in the sport.
“Compared to the civilian competitions I’ve played in, the level of encouragement and camaraderie at the nationals was the highest I’ve experienced playing lawn bowls,” AB Shaw said.
“Everyone supports you and they are so positive, including giving tips and hints to help improve your bowling.”
