Latest National Rankings for February released
New South Wales’ Corey Wedlock and Genevieve Delves remain the top-ranked Australian male and female bowlers respectively following the month of February.
Despite the lack of change to any of the top five men or women, the rise of married pair Hailey (6) and Cody (14) Packer as the respective top-ranked West Australian bowlers is one of the more impressive feats since the inception of the National Player Rankings.
Cody was recently in action for the Perth Suns at the eleventh instalment of the Bowls Premier League in Moama, while Hailey has been a distinguished bowler in WA for many a year.
