The
Burnside
Way
Once again it is a credit to the Burnside Club and the Burnside Members regarding the manner in which
the Bowls New Zealand Challenge Trophy was conducted over the past three days.

  • Bowls New Zealand are very appreciative of the facilities and the professional
    structure at Burnside.
  • Immaculate greens - once again the positive talking point of the players,
    a credit to the Glen Miller and green keeping team.
  • John Reese and his early morning line marking team - 7 am start
  • Ken Haworth / Barry Bunting and the many barmen .
  • The ladies looking after lunches and morning teas.
  • AJ and his results and photos.
  • Bill Fowlie and his usual professional support.
  • Club members who made the visitors feel welcome.
  • The 46 (YES - 46) club members who gave time on Sunday to mark.

This is how it is done the Burnside way.

Championship
Our young bowler Tayla Bruce continues on her winning ways
having won 8 games and one draw in the lead up to the semi finals
on Tuesday at 10:30 am. The final will be played at 12:30pm.
Games will be played at Papanui Club in Sawyers Arms Road.

This is a quote from the Bowls New Zealand website ...
The girl's singles was all about young, local high-roller Tayla
Bruce, 16, who blazed through her section and into championship
post-section play alongside Nicole Toomey (St Mary's College),
Sarah Davidson (Roxburgh Area School) and Holly McIlroy
(Manurewa High School) – younger sister of NZ representative
Shannon McIlroy. Paige Richmond (Dunstan High School) and
Rosie Tate (Tawa College) complete the championship section.

Tayla finished with a bronze placing. A great result. Well done.
