Team background
The Adelaide Pioneers entered the competition at the BPL10 event at Club Pine Rivers, filling the South Australian void that was left by their predecessors, the Adelaide Endurance.
As the oldest club in South Australia and license-holders of the Pioneers, Adelaide Bowling Club brings a rich history to the competition, with the team named in recognition of the club’s stature in the state.
The Pioneers royal blue and white colours pay homage to the colours of the Adelaide Bowling Club, who hosted the 2019 World Singles Champion of Champions event.
