Jack Attack thriving at Club Hillsdale
With the new year right around the corner, bowls clubs across the country are wrapping up their Jack Attack programs for 2024 and getting ready for an even bigger 2025.
Jack Attack is a fun and fast-paced format of bowls, aimed to encourage participation with non-bowling members of the community.
For Club Hillsdale, the November 2024 Jack Attack was one of its most successful yet, welcoming 25 new players onto the bowls green for four weeks of fun and excitement.
14 teams entered the competition, with new team Rolling Thunder, comprising of Colin Read, Aman Basol and Hamza Yasar, coming out on top over runner-up team Leftovers.
The Encouragement Award was given to the Bowled Over team of Christina Curry, Jo Janson, Roz Avard, Brooke Hannah and Kathy McDonald, who brought unmatched enthusiasm to each match.
Club Hillsdale’s Brett Hughes said all the participants improved their skills, with their competitive spirit shining brightly on the greens.
“This year’s participants showcased some of the most talented and determined performances ever seen in the Jack Attack arena,” he said.
“With a fantastic mix of experienced bowlers, enthusiastic newcomers, and fiercely competitive matches, the November program will be remembered as one of the best yet.”
Jack Attack continues to reinvigorate clubs, opening up new ways to engage with the local community.
“The whole idea of this competition is about introducing the community to our club, and letting them know that bowls is for anyone and that it is a community sport,” Hughes said.
“Club Hillsdale has gained membership out of it, with seven new members joining the club this year from the program.”
“The people that come to Jack Attack are builders, plumbers, politicians, school teachers, all sorts of people, so it’s a great source for networking and communicating with other people.”
The next Jack Attack tournament for Club Hillsdale kicks off on February 20, 2025, and will run for four weeks. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this inclusive and exciting event.

Jack Attack appeals to people who are looking for a more structured bowls competition than barefoot bowls, but don’t have the time to commit to longer formats of the game.
