It is with great pleasure that St Johns Park Bowling Club announce the signing of emerging talent, Joseph Clarke. Joseph is a member of the “Right at Home” Australian Jackaroos Pathway Program and will join us from his boyhood club, Park Beach Bowls Club.
Joseph has represented NSW at both Under 18s and Under 25s; he is the current, back to back, Under 18 Australian Open Boys Champion; he has won a Gold Medal in the 2022 Australia Junior Championships; and has recently been selected in the Jackaroos Pathways Program – highlighting the talent and ability that we will welcome to the Saints.
Joseph is also the first recipient of the Peter Foster Scholarship that will see the Club provide opportunities to young emerging talent in our sport and assist them in their studies or chosen careers.
Joseph will join us for the 2022/23 Open Gender Pennant Season and we look forward to many years of success. We welcome Joseph, and his family to our Club – Go the Saints!
Peter Foster is a stalwart of the St Johns Park Bowling Club. Since his arrival in 1999, Peter has provided great leadership and support to bowlers of all ages – both on and off the green. “Butters” or “Dad” as he is affectionately known, has given bowlers great guidance not only on the green but also through their lives, building the life skills necessary to make a start in independent life whilst growing their bowling careers.
The Club will release more information on the Peter Foster Scholarship in the coming weeks.
