Ross joined the College Bowls and has had three practices. He and a friend were asked to join the 3rd team on Thursday as they were going to be short. In the College Bowls league they were drawn to play against the 1st team and two of the players play every weekend, and both of them have played at National level. In fact, one of them is a NZ national champion. Earlier on Thursday he had told me that their aim was to win by 40 points! I felt really sorry for the three young boys in the 3rd team.
They held their heads high and were determined to do their best and have fun. The 1st team fell apart a little when the score was 4 - 3 to the 3rds! Unfortunately, experience took over and the 3rd team was beaten 15 - 5. But a very creditable 5 points those were, of which Ross scored 2 points. The 3rd team was very happy with their efforts even though they didn't win. Their coach was so pleased with them, she gave them all a hug. Ross loves playing lawn bowls.
