The classic Aussie movie, Crack­erjack, has nothing on the women from Chadstone Bowls Club: they’ve gone glob­al in a fight to keep their greens.
Three “Bowling Ladies”, aged from their 60s to 82, became international stars overnight when their take of a Beyonce hit went global with more than 300,000 views.
In scenes that resemble a modern-day take on Crackerjack, the trio posted a Single ­Ladies-inspired video on social media in a bid to stop their beloved club being ripped up for a $25 million sports stadium.
“Stonnington, please pay attention,” the lyrics in the two-minute video urge. “This is our life, now we’re in strife, you can’t be evicting me.”
Terry Foster, Janine Halls and Wyn Hewett admit they don’t have the moves of ­Beyonce, as exclamations of ­“I hurt me hip” and “I nearly pulled my shoulder” echoed down the greens while re-­enacting their dance video.
But the new queens on the block will keep dancing if it means their club, with 600 members, won’t be demolished by Stonnington council to make way for a four-court ­stadium.
