Open Men’s -Tom King
Open Women’s - Diane Harris
1-5 Men’s & Women’s - Peter Blucher
The Selection Panel was suitably impressed with the level of skills and experience of all applicants which made reaching their final decisions difficult. The Panel is confident their selections will deliver the results set for the Auckland region.
Congratulations to the newly appointed Head Selectors, we look forward to the success of all our teams this season.
The definition of...
backswing
It is the same in all sports: tennis, golf, hockey, baseball, cricket, even
football.
The whole secret is in the graceful backswing and the perfect
follow-through.
If only, you could put it in the right direction!

The call from Glen Eden Bowling Club went out for entries to the Great Western Showdown and it didn't take long for the 4th annual fill up with 1-3 year players.
The greyish day with a little bit of mist didn't stop the 18 teams of cowboys and cowgirls heading west on Sunday.

Bowls3Five Finals
Well done to Auckland Originals 1 and Royal Oak Rockets for making it to the Bowls3Five finals last weekend.
Both teams did their best in Naenae, but alas it wasn't enough to get them to the winning podium - better luck next time.
We now wait until October when
Pt Chevalier Pirates compete at the fourth edition of Bowls3Five.
A big congrats to the Bowls3Five Interclub winners for 2021, Hastings Hornets.
