<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
High calibre bowlers for tournament<br />
YOUTH bowling’s cream of the<br />
crop will hit the Burnside green<br />
tomorrow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Burnside club’s under-26<br />
singles tournament runs until<br />
Sunday and features a string of<br />
current and future international<br />
calibre bowlers from New Zealand<br />
and Australia.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event reinforces the idea<br />
that bowls is a game for all ages.<br />
<strong>The</strong> playing group ranges in age<br />
from 17 to 25.<br />
At stake is $5000 in prize money,<br />
but more importantly to these<br />
youngsters is the opportunity to<br />
display their talents and skills<br />
in front of Bowls New Zealand’s<br />
national lead coach and selector<br />
Sharon Sims.<br />
<strong>The</strong> feature of the Burnside<br />
event is having men and women<br />
play on equal terms.<br />
Three previous winners – Sean<br />
Ingham, Broadbeach, Australia,<br />
2013; Tayla Bruce, Canterbury,<br />
REDEMPTION: After losing her crown last year Tayla Bruce will<br />
seek the title for the second time.<br />
2015; and Sheldon Bagrie-<br />
Howley, Southland, 2016 – will<br />
attempt to repeat their past<br />
success.<br />
“Every year it just gets better<br />
and better but the standard of<br />
play is always matched by the<br />
sportsmanship shown and the<br />
way this group of players rekindle<br />
old friendships and make<br />
new ones,” said tournament<br />
convener Kerrie Bruce.<br />
YOUNG GUN: NZ development player Cait Bassett will look to<br />
claim her first U26 title.<br />
Thirteen players in the field<br />
have already represented their<br />
country at development team<br />
level, mainly against Australia.<br />
Bruce, of the Burnside<br />
club, has been selected in the<br />
Blackjacks women’s team for<br />
the transtasman test series<br />
in November, Burnside and<br />
Allenton club member, Bassett,<br />
will play in the development<br />
team’s test series.<br />
