Pocket Preview: SA Seniors Classic
By Matt Stevens
Bowland Salisbury, South Australia, will host the second nationally ranked senior event for 2021 this weekend – The SA Seniors Classic.
Tenpin Bowling Australia Hall of Famer Jeanette Baker has dominated the female division of the event since its inception in 2003, winning the female crown an incredible 12 times.
In 2019, Queenslander pair Cheryl Womack and Rob Kaluci were champions of the SA Seniors Classic. COVID-19 restrictions did not allow this event to run in 2020. They will face stiff competition with John Sullivan Australian Open winners Sue Cassell and Michael Muir both on the squad lists for the weekend. 80 plus entrants will fight it out over two days of bowling with both senior and grand senior divisions active.
Rob Kaluci is aiming for his third straight title after winning the event in 2018 and 2019.
