Twilight Bowls |
Wednesday - Twilight Bowls
(5.30 pm start)
This competition began last Wednesday with both greens in use.
Particularly pleasing was the participation of bowlers from as far
afield as Hastings. Teams play one game of two bowl triples of 16
ends each night . If you want something to do of an evening for
the next seven weeks why not come down and watch.

Opening Day for B Green
What a pity the opening had to be cancelled last Saturday because of bad weather. Many members had entered the day's tournament
and it would have been a fitting occasion to thank all those
who had played a part in planning, financing and producing
what is starting to look like an excellent playing surface.

Following Your Bowl Up The Rink
After you have delivered a bowl and before it has come to rest
you have two options;
1. get behind the head, or
2. get behind the mat.
If you want to track your bowl's progress
you must be behind
the head as it stops. In other words you must
beat it to the head. If you don't go to the head
you must be behind
the mat as your bowl stops.

The Law |
During the HB Junior pairs all teams were given two sheets of paper
with the following message: "These laws are ones we feel that Junior
bowlers, and others, need to know to make the game more enjoyable
for all." This is one of those laws.
Law 36.2 In relation to a neighbouring rink
1. A player should not go into a neighbouring rink where
play is in progress.
2. A player should neither go into nor walk along a
neighbouring rink, even if it is not being used, while an
opponent is delivering or about to deliver a bowl.
3. If the rink is an outside rink, a player should neither go
into or walk along the section of green that lies between the
outside boundary of the rink and the ditch while an opponent is
about to deliver or is actually delivering a bowl.

A triumph for youth
The image of bowls as an 'oldies'
game will never be the same! Sisters, Angela (left) and
Mandy Boyd (right), (Bowls Taradale) who in two
consecutive Bowls Hawke's Bay Centre events this week, were
second in the Junior Pairs and then won the Moira Smyth
2x4x2. These girls have been playing for only a few seasons,
and with the able coaching of Bowls Hawke's Bay's youth
coach Wilma Ennor, they have swept far more experienced
players before them on their way to victory. In addition,
Mandy recently won the right to represent Hawke's Bay as the
singles player in the prestigious National Secondary School
Championships to be held in mid December at Hamilton. |

Mandy Boyd
Playing immaculate bowls and showing
composure well beyond the tender age of 17, Year 12 Napier
Girls High School student Mandy Boyd, won the Bowls Taradale
Club Open Singles for the second year in succession, winning
the final 21/4. Mandy is proving that she is be a force to
be reckoned with this year, as she and her sister Angela (a
former winner of the NZ Secondary Schools Singles event) won
the Moira Smyth 2x4x2 and were runners up in the Junior Pairs
recently. In addition Mandy won the Secondary Schools Regional
finals (singles) and will represent the region (Hawke’s Bay,
Gisborne/East Coast/ Manawatu and Wairarapa) at the Secondary
Schools Nationals at Hamilton in December. Mandy is coached
by Wilma Ennor, the Youth Bowls Co-ordinator for Bowls Hawke’s
Bay.

The Centre Board
is keen to set up a Coaching Association in Bowls Hawke’s Bay
We believe it will not only benefit Coaches but also improve
the standard of Bowls. With the new Board structure it is
important that groups like Coaches have an input into the
organisation and operation of Bowls and a means of communicating
with the Board. All interested
clubs/players/coaches – prospective, accredited or otherwise are
requested to contact: Peter Bryant, Phone: 06 843 4020 or
Peter Carthew, Phone 06 858 9544
