The 2013 Bowls Season is Underway

The State Men's Singles at a District level commences tomorrow, Saturday 5th January, with round 1 of the State and Senior Singles. Play will start at Kempsey RSL, Hat Head, Smithtown & Port City in the morning. With 2 games on Saturday & Sunday play in both groups will be down to a final on Saturday 12th Jan.

Come out and support the players to add to the enjoyment of singles play. 

It is interesting to note that the NSW Women's State Bowling Association has changed their 2013 conditions of play to reduce the number of ends played for championships as follows:

State Singles:  25 up
State Pairs: 18 ends 

State Triples: 18 ends
State Fours: 21 ends

Pennants: 21 ends per team

I can relate to this having played in Victoria where this is in line with both the men's and women's championships. It helped in the men's championships with play late in the afternoon after social bowls.
