U26 Canterbury v Dunedin Tournament – RECAP

What a fantastic weekend of bowls, with tough competition and great connections made down in Dunedin. Our Canterbury team delivered a strong performance against a quality Dunedin side. Dunedin came away with the trophy, winning 7 of the 13 games played.

This tournament continues to be a fantastic opportunity for our young players to develop their skills, gain valuable experience, and build connections within the wider bowls community beyond Canterbury.

A big thank you to Bowls Dunedin and everyone involved who helped make this tournament such a success! Thank you also to our Canterbury players, who brought positive attitudes and winning mindsets throughout the weekend. You represented Canterbury with pride.

Our sport is in good hands!
