Currently, Ruediger is sitting on 398 games and is set to break Ray Tume’s Games Played record of 405.

After winning the men’s singles gold medal at the IIBC World Under 25 Indoor Championships in Scotland, Nathan Black is once again a key addition to the team. Continuing with the accolades, Jono Voigt, the 2024 Champion of Champion singles winner and Will McPharlin, the 2023 State Singles Champion will represent the state once again.
Mitch Percy and Brett Davis will bring experience to the line up and shouldn’t be underestimated. Rounding off the 12 having played 158 games and being apart of the 2017 Alley shield winning team is Scott Thulborn.
After finishing sixth in their 2023 Marj Morris Trophy campaign the Women’s side is looking to use their experience to come out on top. One change has been made to the side with Tamzin Jenke earning her debut after winning the 2024 State Triples Championships.
The 2024 State Champions make their mark on this side with the inclusions of Sharon Cavanagh (State Fours), Sheridon Bodnar (State Triples) and Kate Argent-Bowden (State Mixed Pairs). The 2024 Champion of Champion singles winner, Karen Gatto, will also represent the state.
After a remarkable year winning the Australian Champion of Champions title, Laini McGorman will be looking to continue her success. Grace Moloney, Cathryn Greenslade, Katrina Green and Debbie Dennis will once again be McGorman’s teammates.
The youngest member of the side Evie Exton will be accompanied by Renata Callisto, the Women’s leading games played bowler with 153 games played.
