Mary Underwood

Mary Underwood is a former international lawn bowler who represented Australia. Her best-known results came at the 1973 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Wellington, where she took three medals: a bronze in the singles, a silver in the triples alongside Joan Vaughan and Olive Rowe, and a silver in the team event contested for the Taylor Trophy. At home she made her state debut for Western Australia in 1967 and bowled for the Civic Centre Bowls Club. Her Wikipedia article is a short biographical stub, so little beyond her career highlights and her state and club links is recorded. In the atlas she stands as one of the Australian women who competed at world level in lawn bowls in the early 1970s, a precision sport played on a green.
