Women's CoC Under 5's

Yoko Rae lost her first game in the U5's to Hornby, it was a very close game both players were locked in at 19 all before Yoko losing 21-19, well done to Yoko for giving her best game and to Wendy Rogers being there to support her.

Thank you to those that turned up for this rollup last Saturday. We're going to repeat the event this Saturday 21st March starting at 1pm.

Come along and have a friendly rollup, we'll organise games to suit the numbers on the day, please be there by 12:30pm to sort teams.

Condolences

The Club extends its deepest sympathy to Steve and Sue Hurley on the sad passing of their daughter Kendall. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Targetted Athlete Programme

Rebecca Barker has advised that she was recently contracted by Bowls NZ into the Targetted Athlete Programme. The focus is on developing players identified as having future potential to reach the top tier Black Jacks. This will include a performance plan to help Becs achieve that goal.

Rebecca as we have seen over the course of recent seasons has developed into a very promising athlete and this is another step along that journey.

It would be no surprise to the Bowls NZ selection panel to see her achieve her first national title in the mixed pairs recently. A tier 3 event along the aspiring bowlers pathway.

Congrats Becs on this achievement.

Midweek Friendlies

Just a reminder to players going to Morrison Ave BC tomorrow that entry is from the Langdons Rd end of Morrison Ave. Roadworks prevent access from the other end off Sawyers Arms Rd.

Women's Interclub

7's

Unfortunately the Women's 7's team had a mixed season with not enough players due to injury and personal reasons, thank you to the Ladies that were available to help make up the teams.

Double Triples

Had a good run finishing 3rd overall on the table, well done Ladies.
