The Hillmorton High School student took up the sport two years ago after his grandmother, Irene Harvey, an avid bowler, died in 2016. The 16-year-old, who plays at the Cashmere club, had a breakthrough season, finishing second at the Canterbury secondary school championships in March and then finishing 10th in his first tilt at the national secondary schools championships in Auckland a month later. “My nana played for Halswell in 2015 and 2016 and then she retired, and in November of 2016 she died of cancer and after that I heard she played bowls and I decided I’d give it a go and follow in her footsteps,” he said. A total novice, Braeden has had to learn the game from scratch, but said he now loves the tactics involved. “The first season was challenging and I was at Halswell and they were a big club so it was hard to make an impression being the youngest at the club,” he said. “I made the switch to Cashmere because there was a coach who wanted to train me there and I’ve since fallen in love SPORT ON THE GREEN: Braeden Casware has had a breakthrough season since he started playing bowls after his grandmother, Irene Harvey, died. with Cashmere.” He still has to keep his grades high to keep playing. “Dad said I had to pass NCEA level one to keep playing, so I had to pick up my game a bit,” he said. Braeden plays football for Halswell United during the winter, but he said bowls is his major sporting focus. “I really enjoy the game and I’m improving so I’ll keep at it.” One day he would like to represent Canterbury and play the game professionally.
