JUNIORS SHINE AT TRAINING CAMP The 16-member Queensland U18 squad, comprising eight boys and eight girls, recently completed a two-day intensive training camp at Broadbeach Bowls Club as part of their preparation for the test series against NSW in August and the U18 National Championships later in the year. In exciting news, Bowls QLD and Bowls NSW have agreed to expand their annual Under 18 QLD vs NSW Test Series from five girls and five boys to eight players of each gender. The test series will be held in Queensland on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 August, with a venue yet to be announced. Five tests will be played over the two days in singles, pairs, triples and fours disciplines. Ten players will make their debut for QLD. “Every player in the Queensland U18 squad will now get the opportunity to play in the NSW test series, giving the selectors a much better opportunity to assess player performance prior to selecting five girls and five boys for the National Championships,” Chrissy Pavlov said. ”Targeted training camps and exposure of more junior players to interstate competition will greatly assist the development of junior players in our state.”
