The year 2013; a year that saw three Australian Prime Ministers, the beginning of a Hawthorn premiership three-peat, a Sydney Roosters flag and the beginning of an Ashes drubbing.
In the bowls world, 2013 was also a landmark year, with the first running of the Australian Premier League (APL) at Club Pine Rivers in Brisbane. The APL broke a number of boundaries in the sport; a fast, made for television format saw 18 of the best players in the world from 6 franchises compete live on Fox Sports for the initial title of Australian Premier League champion.
We won’t spoil the result – APL01 is now available to view on demand here on The Bowls Clubhouse.
