Matt Flapper
Matt Flapper’s remarkable career in lawn bowls has spanned the local, state, and national levels. First representing Victoria as a junior, Flapper has donned the state jersey more times than any player in the history of the sport. He has bowled for Australia at numerous global events, becoming a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist in 2014. Flapper’s involvement with the Ocean Grove Bowling Club began in 2012, when he joined as bowls co-ordinator, and has since yielded multiple premierships and state pennant championships. He is currently head coach of the Geelong Jets, which entered the Bowls Premier League in 2024 as a franchise of Ocean Grove. Flapper was awarded Life Membership from Bowls Victoria in 2023.
