EVENT UPDATE

Bowls Auckland’s Board and Operations Committee have agreed to change an event in the 2022-2023 Playing Programme. The Men’s Singles scheduled for mid-February has been cancelled and will be replaced with the Men’s Triples, which was not played in November. This reset will enable us to run the Men’s Triples alongside the Women’s Triples on 18 & 19 February.

In summary, the main reasons behind the decision are:

• to help alleviate the burden on natural greens and host clubs in a season that continues to have problematic weather conditions (Triples require fewer venues).  
• many players have just competed in the National Singles, so this event is an opportunity to offer a Centre Event in a discipline that is not offered nationally.
• to provide consistency in the Men’s and Women’s programmes (both playing Triples in favour of Singles). 
• to encourage more people to play bowls.

It is not easy to make such a change & we understand it may not suit some of our valued players, but we are confident this is the best decision given the current situation.  We look forward to delivering two fantastic Triples tournaments.
