The gifted player added the title to her resume at the Muswellbrook RSL Bowling Club on Thursday, taking her tally to more than 140 major accolades in a stellar career.

She accounted for team mate Eryn Finnegan in the final 25-18.

“Barbara deserved the win, she played great bowls,” her gracious rival said.

“I was just happy to make it that far [in the tournament].”

Muswellbrook RSL Women’s Bowling Club president Kay Noble praised both combatants.

“Barbara and Eryn are probably our most experienced players,” she said.

“In fact, they’re both skips in the pennant team.

“But, we’re extremely proud of them.

“Muswellbrook is only a small club, yet we managed to get two of our ladies into the [district] decider.

“And, it was a terrific match to watch.

“Congratulations to both girls on reaching the final.”
