Bowls New Zealand have announced the appointment of three selectors to the national selection panel, tasked with assisting convenor of selectors and head coach Mike Kernaghan in forming national representative teams for the period spanning July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025.
Returning to the panel is the esteemed Sharon Sims, MNZM, renowned in the bowls community as a multiple World Championships and Commonwealth Games gold medallist. Sims, also Bowls New Zealand’s Patron, brings a wealth of experience, having been integral to the high performance programme for the 10+ years. Her continued role as selector is met with enthusiasm.
Joining Sims are Lance Tasker and Trish Croot, both seasoned veterans in elite-level bowls.
Tasker boasts over 40 years of involvement in the sport, including representing New Zealand in the Over 60’s team in 2019. With a distinguished record as a New Zealand Gold Star holder, Tasker’s expertise positions him well for the responsibilities of a Selector, an opportunity he eagerly anticipates.
Croot, though new to the national selection panel, brings considerable knowledge of the sport as a qualified coach and umpire. Her successful tenure as a North Harbour selector and her own achievements as a skilled bowler add a unique perspective to the panel. Croot intends to leverage her business acumen to ensure the selectors make informed decisions in selecting the finest players to represent New Zealand.

Last day on the job.
The workers! Three volunteers assisting greenkeeper Kelvin Scott do some maintenance. What would we do without our volunteers?
Lincoln University has a great sport-specific scholarship that Lawn Bowlers can apply for. The scholarship is a great opportunity, has great benefits and we highly recommend anyone that is thinking of studying at Lincoln University in Canterbury to apply. This scholarship is available to bowlers who are considered to be our up-and-coming national players. The Elite Scholarship provides up to $6,000 towards tuition fees or accommodation costs for the first year of study. Scholars are able to re-apply in subsequent years of study. In addition, the athletes also receive a comprehensive wraparound programme, which includes access to mental conditioning coaches, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and sports conditioning experts. This scholarship is also available for postgraduate students.
