Just two weeks away.
Who is the favourite in the singles? Surely Jesse has one hand on the cup?
Sam Twining has been playing some very good bowls. Kenta Treacher is a year older and year wiser. Maybe there will be a bolter.
Keep an eye on the RNSWBA website for all the latest results.
Good luck to you all.
New Development Officer Chris Macauley and I will be down to watch on the first day.
Jesse should certainly be hard to beat on his home greens. I think Alex Cross Lee's form could make him a bolter and his game against Sam Twining should be a beauty in sectional play. I have also been impressed with young Daniel from Nambucca - great attitude and temperment and would love to see him do well.
I'll tip the Ballina boys in the Pairs and cannot go against Zone 10 in the fours or they (Louren especially) will kill me. (Selectors should keep an eye on Ben Swain, he is a great talent who should have been playing 1's at Merrylands this year at age 15. Zone 10 Championships were held under water with scuba gear, and this definitely had an effect on some of the results).However, the other finalist will be the local side.
Change of plans, Development Officer Chris Macauley will be down there on the first day of play, monday, The rest of the team will down there on Wednesday for the first day of the fours competition. Mark Whiteman, Chris Macauley and I are all keen to see the talent on display and talk with any of the Junior bowlers about anything that they would like to discuss with us. We are all ears guys!!!!!
I have to retract what I said about Alex Cross Lee. He dislocated/broke his arm last week and is in a cast. He says he earnt his spot and doesn't want anyone to have a bye, so he has been practicing left-handed. I am afraid I can't tip him playing left-handed :oops: But I wish him the best of luck and really admire his attitude to the event.
Well, Alex went on and competed left-handed. He didn't win any games but he really pushed the eventual State Champ, taking 14 shots. Gutsy effort I reckon.Quote:

That shows true character. Well done to Alex ;)
Maitland City BC’s Sam Twining laid claim to being the top Under 18 bowler in NSW when he won the 2008 NSW State Junior Singles title at Warilla BC on 15 July.
Twining took the title by beating his fellow NSW Under 18 Representative and good mate Matt McIntyre 31-19 in what would be the most friendly decider of a State Title ever played.
Despite the friendly atmosphere of the game the competitive spirit was very much alive, and neither player gave any easy shots to their opponent.
The game began as an even contest, until Twining played some spectacular conversion shots to open a lead. McIntyre fought to the end of the game, continually drawing excellent shots only to see Twining play an outstanding bowl to take the end.
Twining’s path to the final included 3 comfortable section wins and a spectacular fight back in his semi final win over 2007 Champion Jesse Noronha. After trailing by 10 shots early in the match, Twining found spectacular form to surge to a 31-19 victory.
McIntyre reached the semi final after comfortably winning both of his sectional matches (his section included a bye) and then progressed to the final after a tough 31-28 semi final win over Yamba’s Jamie Eichorn.
Noronha won his section with 3 wins, while Eichorn progressed on superior margin, after he and Kenta Treacher (North Sydney) finished on 2 wins each in their section.
