North vs South Charity Challenge

North vs South Charity Challenge: Teams Announced for a Day of Sport and Fundraising

The stage is set for one of the most eagerly awaited community sporting events of the year, as the North and the South prepare to go head-to-head in the inaugural Charity Challenge, taking place on Saturday, 20th September 2025, at Nobles Greens 1 & 2. With a start time of 10:00, spectators can look forward to a full day of competition, camaraderie, and charity, all in support of the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).

This year’s event, proudly sponsored by IQ-EQ, Canada Life, and EVF, promises to deliver both entertainment and purpose. Thanks to their generous support, every bowl delivered on the day will help raise vital funds for the MNDA, an organisation providing essential care, research, and hope for those affected by the condition.

The match format has been designed to ensure plenty of variety and excitement. Spectators can expect to see contests across men’s doubles, ladies doubles, mixed doubles, mixed triples, and, to bring the day to a thrilling conclusion, men’s and ladies singles on the main green. With such a mix of styles and formats, there will be no shortage of drama, skill, and friendly rivalry on display.

Both teams have now confirmed their line-ups, with captains carefully selecting who will take to the greens in each match type. Importantly, every player is guaranteed to feature in at least two games, meaning fans will have ample opportunity to cheer on their local favourites throughout the day. The balance of competition promises a close contest, with bragging rights for either North or South on the line – but always in the spirit of fundraising and togetherness.

The Charity Challenge has grown into far more than just a sporting fixture; it is a celebration of community spirit. Friends, families, and supporters are encouraged to come along, lend their voices to the cheers, and soak up the atmosphere of what promises to be a memorable day. Whether you’re an avid bowls enthusiast or simply looking for a fun, family-friendly day out, this event offers something for everyone.

So mark the date in your calendar, dust off your team colours, and join us at Nobles Greens. The bowls will be fiercely contested, but the real victory lies in raising funds for such an important cause.

North or South – who will claim the honours in 2025? One thing is certain: the true winners will be the MNDA.
