Print media still has its place. Not as common now, but it still carries a bit of weight when it does show up.
Good to see Jon Routhan at Top South Now pick up the dual Bowls New Zealand National Interclub success for both our Men and the Nelson Bowling Club women.
It says a lot about the strength in the Bowls Nelson region to have both titles held locally this season, especially with Nelson having to get past our defending National champion Stoke women just to qualify.
In fact, just last season the shoe was on the other foot, with the Nelson men attending the National event after beating Stoke for the first time in 15 years. Our lads certainly made the most of their return to the top level this season, bringing home the chocolates in dramatic fashion and making for a 4th National Mens Interclub success (to go with being bridesmaid 3 times as well!)
You can enjoy Jon's article in the attached image.
