Perth Suns

Team background

The Suns are a foundation team of the BPL and with the license held by Bowls WA, the team has long been representative of the entire state of Western Australia.

Opting to return to a full “local” home-grown WA team, the Suns are ready to hunt a maiden trophy and will provide plenty of parochial fanfare and colour to the BPL.

First BPL event competed in: APL01
