Sponsored by Bowls Victoria, our all-female VBL team!

"As part of the new BV Strategic Plan, we are aiming to increase the number of women bowls players. Highlighting their skills, a women’s team of quality players like Vic Storm, is fabulous for our sport. Lisa, Jess, Cass, Chloe and Kira will be flying the flag for all women bowlers in the inaugural VBL. Go Storm!"
𝘗𝘢𝘵 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘮, 𝘋𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘉𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘴 𝘝𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢.

As mentioned, the selection of the Vic Storm side supports BV’s ‘Women in Bowls’ Strategy to tackle the decline in female participation in our sport. By showcasing our amazing women we can put the spotlight on bowls as a sport in which anyone can compete at the highest level. By creating an opportunity for our best to play with and against the best, it can only strengthen bowls in Victoria, and The Storm will be out to inspire the next generation of girls in our sport.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗨𝗣
Leading the charge for the Storm is a trio of current Vic State side players in 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 and newly capped Victorian 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸.

Lisa comes with a rich resume, having represented Australia in the past. She’s won a multitude of titles including two AO Singles and a Triples. She’s also won it all at State level, with six State titles to her name and has represented the Big V since 2012. Her versatility will be a big asset to the Storm.

Jess Wallace has been skipping in Premier League for Lilydale for many years and has used that experience to pick up two bronze medals at National level, after winning Vic State titles; Champ of Champs Singles in 2017 & and Mixed Pairs in 2019. Currently skipping in the State side she will be looking to make her mark on the VBL.

Then there’s Cass Millerick, who’s recently made the move to Victoria and has seamlessly slotted into the State side. She comes with a bag of titles, including National Pairs in 2021, and State titles galore in Queensland. She’s an exceptional Singles player, and current Victorian Champ of Champs Singles title holder and will be going for gold at the Nationals in October.

Joining the team and adding some big event experience will be two more Victorians (in current exile in QLD), 𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁 & 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗲. Chloe is a current Jackaroo, who has won several titles on the National stage, preceded by a long list of junior Victorian State titles including Singles in 2011, multiple AO gold, and was named U18 bowler of the year in 2014. She’s also bagged two BPL winner’s medals for the Tweed Ospreys, and that experience will be vital in the Storm’s challenge for VBL gold. Her clubmate Kira has also won multiple Vic U18 State titles including Singles, Pairs, Mixed Pairs & Triples, and has played in the BPL. Kira will be looking to add the VBL to her impressive resume that includes, like her teammate Chloe, U18 Bowler of the year.

We can’t wait to see the Storm represent in Moama!

The Bulls have gone for a mix of club talent and a splash of local legends. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝘀, a 7-time Premiership winner at the Warrambool Bowls Club kicks things off, with a Region Triples title and multiple Club Championships to his name.

He’s joined by fellow West Coast Region Rep, 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹, who has won a host of local Premierships as well as Club Championships. Well-known Bowls Co-ordinator, 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗢’𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹 is next, bringing his experience from winning a State title in 2017 and multiple West Coast Region side campaigns with him.

𝗕𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗸 adds some firepower to the Bulls. He’s won many a Singles title, including an U25 Tasmanian title, as well as multiple Premierships at the Bulls.

The local players will be aided by 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘀 𝗝𝗲𝗳𝗳𝘀 & 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘆. Rhys was a Champion of Champions State title winner in 2020, turning that into a bronze at the Nationals event, and has a host of Region titles on his resume. Young gun Brad Pavey adds some real class and form to this franchise, going deep in State events and State Pennant as skip last year, as well as representing Victoria at U25 level this month.

The Bulls will be be looking to show the West Coast of the state mean business!

Brighton is led by the evergreen 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗝𝗻𝗿. Former Australian Rep, Green Jnr has seen it all, winning an AO Pairs, State Champ of Champs, Singles and Fours, and 100+ games for Victoria in his time. This flexibility will be vital if the Blue Devils are to go all the way.

Next up is a stack of current Vic State Side talent in 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗢’𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 and 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗻. Deano and Brendo form a formidable backend for the Vic Thunder, and are also part of the BA Pathway Jackaroo Squad. Thor Shannon, who seems to be winning everything in recent years, will look to showcase his skills on the big VBL stage.

𝗕𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗿 & 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿 add some excellent depth to this competitive side, both skipping rinks in Premier league last season. Scotty is a former State Rep across all age levels including U30 Singles chamion. Hubs has won State Pairs and multiple Region title as well as two Premier League flags. Both players have been around the top of the Victorian bowls scene for a number of years and will look to add the VBL title to their huge list of achievements.

Spearheaded by local legend 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶 – 2 x Club Champion at Traralgon, 8 x Region title winner (across all formats), showcasing his adaptability which will be key in the fast paced 5-a-side VBL.

He’s joined by a plethora of Victorian talent, with current State Rep 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝗿 leading the charge. Orry, who skipped his rink to a State Fours title victory in 2020, has won multiple Vic Open titles, taking out the coveted Vic Medal for best player in 2014. A legend of the Goulburn Murray region, he’ll be looking to go well in his short trip up the road to Moama.

Another current Vic Thunder player joining the Lyrebirds is 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆. ‘Phelpsy’ is one of the best singles players in the State, winning the State title in 2021, and taking out the highly competitive Richmond Masters Singles in 2016. Add this to previous State titles in other formats and 2 x Premier League flags in 3 years!

Current Pathway Jackaroo 𝗧𝘆𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗲 adds some flair to the side. Fresh from playing 3rd to the ‘GOAT’ last year, Cromie comes with a myriad of U18 National and State titles to his name, playing over 50 games for the big ‘V’ along the way. He’s collected his fair share or Region titles also, making it to 3rd place with his Dad and brother in 2021.

And finally, a man who needs no introduction, 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 rounds off this strong side. Brad has an Australian Pairs title to his name, after blowing away the competition in 2020. Another with multiple Vic Open titles under his belt, Brad will bring some versatility to this side, as he’s handy at playing all positions.
