Joan Osborne

Joan Osborne is a former international lawn and indoor bowls competitor who played for Wales. Her best known result came at the 1977 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Worthing, where she won the gold medal in the triples, a bronze medal in the fours alongside Enid Morgan, Margaret Pomeroy and Janet Ackland, and a silver medal in the team event for the Taylor Trophy, three medals at a single championship. At home she won three Welsh National Bowls Championships: the pairs in 1969 and the triples in 1972 and 1987, a span of almost two decades between her first and last national titles. The published account of her career is brief, so her birth date and club are not recorded here until a source states them.
