Australian Finska Championship

Overview

If you've recently found yourself in a park tossing a lump of wood around, and often, then we've got an event for you. Anyone who fancies themselves a chance of making the Finskaroos will be descending on Petersham Bowling Club on Sunday, October 29 for the Australian Finska Championship.

Surrounded by the dreamy suburban surrounds of the Inner West bowls club, 128 pairs of Finska lovers will go head to head from 9am, battling it out for the grand prize of $1000.

For anyone not on board the hype train just yet, Finska or Finnish skittles is an outdoor group game where teams have to knock down wooden pins in a race to 50 points.

The competition is open to everyone, from first-timers to experienced throwers. After the first few rounds, teams will be split into two comps to ensure that you're paired up with players of a similar skill level to themselves.

If you want to spend your Sunday on the greens scoring points over a beer and a laugh, you will need to sign up beforehand. Registration will set you and your Finska partner back $40 per team.
