Milton “Jnr” Hawke

ABOUT JNR

26 July 1977

Milton, locally known as Jnr, was born in Broken Hill and is recognised in the FWSHF for his achievements in both Rope Quoits and Indoor Bowls. Rope Quoits is in the blood of the Hawke family, so it was only natural that Jnr would take to the sport, following his father’s footsteps. His success started to manifest in the Intermediate Section of the sport, claiming his first Australian Title in 1996 and going on to claim four more. Jnr was moved to the Open Division and claimed the ultimate victory, claiming the Australia Open 1001 Title which saw him go head-to-head with his dad in the final. His open campaign saw him claim seven Australian Titles, the last of which in 2015.

Following his time as a Rope Quoits champion, Milton took up Indoor Bowls and wasted no time in claiming success. Jnr won silver in the Men’s Triples in 2016 and claimed gold in the Mixed Fours competition in 2018. Jnr has put up his hand to assist with the management of certain aspects of the local competition and is still an active competitor. Of all of Milton’s efforts, his crowning achievement was being named in the Rope Quoits All Australian Team of the Year nine times.
