BIO

Rebecca Van Asch is one of Australia’s most decorated lawn bowlers hailing from the Invermay Bowls & Community Club in Tasmania playing over 200 capped games for Australia. At the 2018 Commonwealth Games Van Asch joined teammates Carla Krizanic and Natasha Scott as the only Australian lawn bowlers to ever win multiple Commonwealth Games Gold medals after claiming the Triples and Fours titles. These medals accompany Van Asch’s three World Titles. Bec claimed her first World Title in 2012 when she paired with Kelsey Cottrell to take out the Women’s World Pairs Gold Medal. Four years later, in 2016, she again teamed up with Cottrell along with Krizanic and Scott to claim the World Fours Gold medal and the Triples Gold also with Krizanic and Scott. These girls hold a unique place in the record books securing the double/double of both World and Commonwealth Titles in the triples and fours. Bec first began playing the sport she loves back in 1998 as a young 10 year old and quickly took the sport by storm having worked her way through the junior ranks before representing the Tasmanian women’s open team. Bec is the current captain of the Tasmanian women’s team and has claimed over 13 State Titles over her career to date. Van Asch is Tasmania’s only World and Commonwealth Games lawn bowls champion and was named the 2017 Tasmanian Athlete of the Year in acknowledgment of her outstanding achievements. Some of Bec’s achievements include;
