Foster, Worsnop sign with Jets

Scottish Lawn Bowls World Champion Paul Foster and Jackaroo Jamie-Lee Worsnop will join the Geelong Jets in their inaugural Bowls Premier League (BPL) season.

As a 13-time World Indoor champion and four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Foster’s exceptional skill and competitive spirit have made him a formidable opponent on the international stage.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Paul Foster to the Geelong Jets,” general manager bowls development Ocean Grove Bowling Club Matt Flapper said.

“Paul’s expertise and achievements in lawn bowls are unparalleled, and his presence in our team will undoubtedly elevate our performance. We are confident that his leadership and experience will inspire and motivate our players as we commence our BPL experience.

“Paul is one of the best, we can’t wait to see him in action for the Jets.”

Foster said he was keen to join the Jets.

“I am honoured to be part of the Geelong Jets and to compete in the BPL, I have been wanting to be a part of this prestigious event for some time and now get the opportunity to contribute to the Geelong Jets’ success,” he said.

“I look forward to bringing my experience to the table as we aim for great achievements together.”

“I am incredibly excited to be joining the Geelong Jets for my first BPL event this November,” she said.

“It’s a dream come true to compete at this level, and I can’t wait to represent the Geelong Jets. The support from Ocean Grove Bowling Club has been

phenomenal, and I am grateful for the guidance and encouragement I’ve received. I’m looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to compete against some of the best in the sport”.
