Callisto Claims Women’s State Representative of the Year Award
Goolwa Bowling Club’s Renata Callisto was named Women’s State Representative of the Year at the recent 2023 – 2024 Bowls SA Awards Night.
The record holder for the most open women’s games for South Australia, Callisto continues to prove her worth, with her experience proving vital over the past 12 months.
Callisto said she was “very honoured” to win this award.
“I wasn’t expecting to win because there is so much talent in our group that continues to build,” she said.
“I feel like I’m on the older end and have been there, but its just wonderful to be part of the team.
“It is a reward for hard work and commitment, and the sacrifices you make.
“I’m probably not making as many sacrifices that I used to, but its wonderful reward.”
Callisto encouraged bowlers out there with the dream of representing South Australia to keep working hard.
“It’s achievable, anyone can do it,” she said.
“The only barriers are the barriers you put in front of yourself.
“Forget the excuses, let your bowls do the talking and keep working on it.”
