Short Ends: World Bowls Championships Edition – Serena Bonnell
The Right at Home Jackaroos World Bowls Championships team share some information that you might not have known about them in the past.
Next up, Serena Bonnell.
Earliest bowls memory: In my 20’s at Burleigh, having a game right on the beach.
Finest moment on the green: Definitely the time Lynsey Clarke presented me my cap just before my first representative game at Leamington Spa in the UK. She had me in tears.
Favourite dish: Anything without a face… vegetarian.
AFL or NRL: AFL
Tea or coffee: Easy one, coffee all the way.
Career/work inspiration: Been very lucky in my legal career and always been inspired to try to make a difference in all of my positions.
First celebrity crush: Johnny Depp but didn’t last long
Three items you couldn’t live without and why: Phone, car and electric toothbrush. Phone for sanity, car for independence and toothbrush for basic hygiene.
Outside of bowls what would be your dream job? Anything that entails an advocacy role.
Favourite non-bowls athlete and why: Ash Barty who was all the way round inspirational. I’m not a fan of the Dolphins technically but I find that very inspirational. They brought together a number of individuals, some egos, and in a small time turned it into a culture of a successful team with an awesome legacy.
Favourite movie: Wedding Crashers and anything with the duo of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Favourite TV show: Anything really, but nothing too serious or scary. I’m definitely a scaredy-cat.
Cats or dogs: Dogs
Which player would be the most likely to be invited to Coach Gary Willis’ house for dinner? Ellen Ryan. But you can’t have one of the winning combo without the other, so Kristina Krstic would be her plus one.
What reality show would you like to appear on? Survivor
Funniest Jackaroo & why: Lynsey Clarke or Carl Healey. They are always good for a laugh and don’t take everything too seriously.
What music revs you up? Pink
Your biggest pet peeve & why? A lack of hygiene… pass me the hand sanitiser please.
Proudest non-bowls accomplishment: Easy… our girls!
Which teammate is most likely to forget their keys? Disco but probably four times per tour
Playstation, Xbox or Nintendo: Nintendo
Favourite social media app: Facebook
Most embarrassing memory you have: Teenager, on a date at wet n wild, brand new yellow bikini which I unfortunately found out was see-through. The bikini was definitely a head turner!
Ideal holiday destination and why: Anywhere in America. Eloped to Hawaii and would love to take the girls there one day and show them where it all began.
