National Rankings – September 2021
After six consecutive months at the helm of the National Rankings, Corey Wedlock has been dethroned as the nation’s number one male player.
Victorian Thor Shannon returns to the summit for the first time since February after running second to the New South Welshman since then.
Shannon boasts an eight-point buffer over Wedlock, with Jake Rynne leapfrogging fellow Queenslander Jacob Nelson into third place, with Victoria’s Colin Veenendaal rounding out the top quintet.
Dawn Hayman maintains her slender one-point buffer over Western Australian Kristina Krstic for the fifth successive month in the women’s rankings, with Jackaroo Natasha Van Eldik again placing third.
Queensland’s Chloe Stewart has re-entered the top five, edging out fellow Sunshine State bowler Bolivia Millerick.
