In late September, following the results of a Saturday Interclub Player survey, Bowls Auckland Operations Committee agreed to trial three new Interclub formats
1. Men’s 9s Pennants (3 teams, 2 bowl Triples)
2. Women’s 9s Pennants (3 teams, 2 bowl Triples)
3. Any combination 9s Pennants (3 teams, 2 bowl Triples)
The format for the Half Day 6s remained unchanged.
Played over three Saturdays, the Pennants raised a challenge or two for teams and Bowls Auckland alike. From having enough players on the day, scoring, to securing available clubs. The great thing about having a trial is it provides an opportunity to review and problem-solve the challenges, and this is what the Operation Committee will undertake.
On the eve of Day 3, the heavens opened & we all wondered if Interclub Pennants & Half Day 6s would take place – but by game day, the rain had moved on. The Half Day 6s were completed so too were Interclub Pennants Men’s and Women’s Premier Division & Women’s Division 1.
Congratulations…
- Pt Chevalier Pirates continued their interclub winning ways when they were crowned Men’s Premier Division winners.
- St Heliers won the Women’s Premier Division, while Bridge Park won the Women’s Division 1.
- Epsom beat Mt Eden to become this season’s Half Day 6s champs.
Men’s Division 1 & 2 and Any Combination will be able to complete their unfinished rounds on Reserve Day, 3 December. Venues will be confirmed.
