2025 Nationals: Day 7 wrap
It was riveting day of action at Devonport Country Club as teams made their move in the Australian Senior Sides Championships as part of the 2025 Nationals on the north west coast of Tasmania.
Women
In the women’s draw, Queensland sits alone on top of the table following wins against South Australia and Australian Capital Territory.
However, Tasmania are the real surprise packets of the competition so far, after defeating three-time Betty Collins OAM champions Victoria 61-42 in the morning session.
Led by Maxine Monson and Kim Saunders’ rinks, Tasmania were looking ominous on their home greens.
In the afternoon session, New South Wales narrowly defeated the locals in an enthralling contest 54-44.
Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania sit second, third and fourth respectively, but all have three wins and are only separated by rinks points and shots.
South Australia and Australian Capital Territory are in fifth and sixth with a chance to medal, while Western Australia and Northern Territory are yet to record an overall win.
Men

The dual wins puts them undefeated on top of the table with 10 rink points from the four rounds.
