Alwyn Allport - The Boson’s Trophy

Alwyn was the third of ten children raised on a dairy farm at Swans Crossing which is a small village outside of Kendall on the NSW Mid North Coast. He attended Kendall primary and secondary schools.

At age 15 he was sent to Coffs Harbour to be apprenticed to the NSW Railways. There he spent some months being made to work in the refreshment room kitchens, this was not to his liking. At this time he was given an opportunity to join a ship named “The Matthew Flinders” as their appointed deck boy had developed the measles, naturally he jumped at this offer. The ship was loading supplies for the Australian and American forces fighting in New Guinea. He returned to Australia aged 16, he decided to remain in the merchant navy, where he sailed in many ships in coastal waters and overseas. After a 46 year career, at age 61 he retired, prior to retiring in 1966 he joined the North Ryde RSL Club.

In 1987 Alwyn joined the Men’s Bowling section of the RSL, quickly becoming a very competitive bowler. He played on Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays, as well as playing in the Pennant teams he also performed Umpiring duties. In 1999 he won our clubs Minor Singles Championship.  In 2003 with the help of teammates Mel Picman, Rom Culotta and Syd Teasel the Clubs Fours Championship was attained.  

Also in 1987 Alwyn joined the North Ryde RSL Sub Branch. He became the delegate to the Northern Metropolitan District Council of Sub Branches, where he remained from January 1994 to 2006. From around 2000 onwards he also assisted the Welfare Officer Max Webber with his many duties. On the 23rd of November, 2004 he was granted the honour of Life Membership to the North Ryde RSL Sub Branch.

Alwyn enjoyed the friendships he formed during his association with the Men’s Bowling Club and Sub Branch, bowling became his passion. The Allport Family are proud to present The Boson’s Trophy.

Harry Downey- The Harry Downey Trophy

At age 15 Harry joined the Sydney waterfront, following in his Father and Uncles footsteps. Times were tough on the waterfront in those days. He was a Balmain boy through and through. In 1975 Harry and Pauline married they moved into a little settlement called Cheero Point which is just north of Mooney Mooney on the Hawkesbury River. Harry was a keen fisherman living on the river was right up his alley.

He joined the local Mooney Mooney Workers Club and subsequently their lawn bowls section. He had may fine teachers to get him started learning the art of lawn bowls. Four years past and Harry and Pauline moved to North Ryde, where Harry immediately joined the North Ryde RSL and the Mens Bowls section. He participated in many events and was runner up in the Minor Singles on one occasion.

Harry loved the game of bowls, on many occasions he manipulated his work roster in order to get in another game. His family were subjected to the bowls bag taking up room when it travelled with them on family holidays. Harry was looking forward to a long life of retirement, bowling and meeting up with his many friends. Sadly, his life was cut short at age fifty-nine.





Ted Candrick – The Ted Candrick Memorial Trophy

Edward (Ted) Charles Candrick started his working career in an Office after leaving school, he stayed at that job for a couple of years. He then moved to the country around Baradine in the North West Plains section of the New England region of New South Wales, he was working for a sawmill in Pilliga at that time. He then made his way back to Sydney where he spent 15 years driving taxis.

Ted then moved up to Springwood where he ran the local TAB for 24 years. If ever you had the chance to speak to Ted, you would have realised that he had an encyclopaedic memory for anything related to horse racing. Not only could he tell you who had won the Melbourne cup in any given year, he could tell you who came second and the name of the jockeys on board. In the 80’s Ted joined and started playing bowls for the local Springwood club. 

One of the highlights of his bowling career was in 1993 when he won his first Major Singles Title at Springwood. Twin sister Carmel recalls that the family went to watch the match and at the finish Ted’s five year old grandson went onto the green to shake his hand and say “good one Poppy”.

Ted retired from the TAB in 1998, at this time he moved back down to live at North Ryde.  He joined the North Ryde RSL Mens Bowls and also the Indoor Sport section where he played indoor bowls and snooker. In 2001 Ted won the Major Singles Championship over Les Garland. In 2002 he won the Club Triples Championship with Mauri Le Neve and Bob McIntyre, 2003 he defended and won the Triples again with Bob McIntyre and Wal Dillaway. In 2001 and 2002 he played with Al Hoy, B Smith and Bernie Whiteford and won the Club Fours Championship. In 2005 with Jill Green he won the Mixed Pairs.

In 2004 Ted stepped into our Bowls Secretary position a role which he remained in until 2007. In that time he instigated a challenge trophy between his old club Springwood and North Ryde. Ted found an old wooden lawn bowl (some have suggested that it was found on a garbage tip) which he mounted on a piece of timber, this became the trophy for which we competed. The competition between Springwood and North Ryde faded over the years but the trophy remains, it is now called the Ted Candrick Memorial Trophy.
