YOUTH BOWLS REPORT
- AUGUST 08.
As there were no entries, apart from those who
attend sessions at Bowls Taradale, for the local
Hawke's Bay selection for the regional event to be
held September 20/21 (at Bowls Taradale), it
was decided to have a really good practice session
in the discipline the students will be playing, in
the next round. All Hawke's Bay Clubs had been
notified of the first round but unfortunately
there were no other young bowlers waiting in the
wings! We played under the same conditions that
students will face in the forthcoming
competitions.
Players taking part are
as follows - (ranked in experience e.g. New season
= yr. of play.)
Mandy Boyd (3), Tessa Hocking (2), Malia Begley
(2), Sophie Mills (2), Leonie Single (1) - All
from Napier Girls' High - and Charlotte Weir (1)
from Taradale High School.
Alex Jones (2), Adam Saunders (2) - Both from
Napier Boys High School.
Apart from Adam and Sophie (Bluff Hill), who work
at the Taradale centre but began at Bluff Hill -
and thanks to Blair McRae, all players have come
from Bowls Taradale.
The players named above will now contest the
Regional Finals at Bowls Taradale, alongside
representatives from Gisborne - East Coast and
Manawatu at either Bowls Taradale or the Heretaunga
complex (if weather is bad), the weekend of
September 20/21.It would be great if the other
Centre from our region, Wairarapa, would be able
to join us next year.
From there the successful students will represent
our region at the National Secondary School
Championships in December at Hamilton.
I know it is the wish of the Hawkes Bay Executive
that we try to set up at least 3 areas /centres to
encourage youth participation. It would be great
to have centres based in the Hastings and
Waipukurau areas to follow a similar programme (as
at Taradale) to complement the total Hawkes Bay
area.
Youth Bowls is a great area in which to become
involved -let's face it..... they are the future
of OUR sport!!!!!
