There are some registered junior bowlers in Zone 11 clubs.
Whether these are active in bowling is another question.
Advice from Zone 11 was that there were no entires in their U18 Championships, and that they would not be able to field a side in the 7-A-Side.
There are Zone 11 Officials who recognise that they have a lack of U18 bowlers within the Zone and are moving towards developing startegies to address this.
Good to hear, thanks mate.Quote:

Always flattering to see something you've written put in, verbatim (even happens in the newspapers!)
I think its great that you shared this with the forumites, before I got the chance!
Was on hand to witness the final, was fantastic to see two young ambassadors for our sport enjoying the game, even to the point of joking with each other.
At one stage Matt was holding three good shots, Sam was lloking at the head and wondering what to play and said to Matt "What should I play" -
Matt of course just smiled.
He should have told Sam to stay away from the head, because Sam drew a glorious bowl within a few cm to take the shot.
I have to say that I admire the way these two approached the game.
They both wanted to be the Champion, but both were positive, upbeat and congratulated each other on their good bowls (and there were plenty of those).
Matt did play very well, it was just that Sam played some terrific shots when it counted and got the results he wanted.
Matts a good, level headed young kid. He got a couple of games at skip in the Premier League, and would be a good chance of a Zone skips job when the teams are selected next weekend.
He's liitle brothers pretty handy too!
What happened this morning Neil?
Don't know other semi result but Zone 1 d Zone 10. Zone 10 trailed 3-20 and got back to 16-20 with 4 to go but then dropped a 5.
Latest update sees Sam Twinings Zone 6 leading Zone 1 20-17 with an end to go.
A single shot to Zone 1 on the last.
Sam Twining wins his second State Title this week.

Great bowls played by all the players, Sam Twining has been outstanding
taking out the Fours and Singles.
Pairs commence tomorrow 18th at 9am.
he wont get the treble because he is not playing in the pairs. great to see that result he is a really good young kid, Clay Parker has been a bit of a help i think this year.
Here is a bit of trivia.
The last person to win the singles one year and then get knocked out the next year in the semi-final was none other than current CEO Greg Helm...
