Next Gen Win 2022 Scarbro Caro Bowl Women’s Title

Women’s Final

One week after claiming the Men’s trophy, Next Gen defeated Parnell to win the 2022 Scarbro Caro Bowl Women’s title for the first time.  Next Gen enjoyed an unbeaten season by beating Parnell 6-0 in the final played at Next Gen last Friday.

Next Gen opened with two solid doubles victories over the Parnell side.  Paige Hourigan and Jade Lewis combined well to beat Emily Fanning and Pavlina Nola in straight sets to take a 1-0 lead.  The bottom doubles also went to Next Gen who could not have hoped for a better start going into the four singles matches.

New Zealand’s top player Paige Hourigan played well to overpower Emily Fanning in the top singles and shortly afterward Stella Cliffe added the winning point for the Next Gen team.  Jade Lewis played within herself to master the slice and dice style of Sarah Wardenburg to wrap up a 6-0 victory for the home side.

Congratulations to Next Gen for winning the title in its debut year.  A special thanks to the referees and umpires for officiating on finals night and to Scarbro Construction for another year of sponsorship of this longstanding club competition.
