Norma Field was employed by Mosman Bowling Club for 48 years and baked roughly 750,000 scones for the club by the time she retired. In memory of her, the club holds the Norma Field Top 5 Shield event annually.
This year the event was played on 25 September 2026 with 14 ladies’ teams including Turramurra, Neutral Bay, Belrose, Newport, Pittwater, Seaforth, Clovelly, Double Bay, Manly, Mosman 1 & 2, St Ives, Harbord and Dee Why.
Each team consisted of 5 players playing 3 bowl pairs and 2 bowl triples, with two games of 17 ends for the day with a lunch break.
The 2026 winner was Double Bay: 3 wins and 1 loss, aggregate shots of 81, aggregate ends of 41 and a total margin of 38.
Runner up was Newport: 3 wins and 1 loss, aggregate shots of 73, aggregate ends of 39 and a total margin of 24.
