Four generations of one family played pennant bowls for Port Neill on Thursday, November 23.
Long-time member Rose Jenkins was joined by her daughter Cheryl Goode, from Stirling North, granddaughter Erin Calliss, from Arno Bay, and great-grandson Jacob Calliss, a 11-year-old Cleve Area School year 5 student.
Jacob filled in once last season when Port Neill found itself short a player on a Saturday and played pennant bowls alongside his father Jeremy on that day.
He loves the game of bowls and is keen to play again if selected during the school holidays.
His mum Erin started playing as a 19-year-old and is an accomplished player in her own right. Erin had a few seasons away from the game after her three boys were born but resumed playing after her youngest started kindergarten.
She and her grandmother Rose have already won a club pairs’ championship together.
Cheryl is new to the sport, having recently retired, and joked she would not see much of her family unless she plays bowls.
She has joined Port Neill Bowling Club as a member and intends to travel the 500km round trip when she can.
Rose is a four-time club champion who enjoys her bowls and remains a most competitive player, plus is an ever reliable worker around the club.
She was recently awarded life membership of the club.
Port Neill played Wudinna in the Thursday ladies’ pennant match.
