A total of 42 competitors split into 14 teams, battled it out for their share of pride and $2000 in prize money.
Club president Kerry Walden told the Leader the annual event provided "a great carnival atmosphere" to the club.
"Honestly, all of the games were played at a very high quality and in good spirit," Walden said.
"In the end the final came down to a local team and a team from Sydney, it went right down to the wire."

The carnival coincided with the club's centenary anniversary dinner, which many of the competitors attended.
"I personally think it was great to see everyone coming together to play bowls and celebrate," Walden said.
"Unfortunately, we did only have one bowling green in operation, which restricted our numbers a bit.
"However, I'm confident everyone who came along to this carnival will be keen to do it again next year.
"As for this year though, we will have a few more carnivals and hopefully a few more centenary celebrations before the year is out."
Sponsored by Coopers, all 14 teams took home their share of prizes, including merchandise.
"It was lovely to see everyone enjoying their bowls over the weekend," Walden said.
"Everyone had a lot of fun, played really well and hopefully will want to come back next year.
"Personally, I don't think we as a club could ask for much more than that."
