Super 7 Series- Tenpin Lincoln Road.
Tenpin
Lincoln Road, Waitakere was the host for the Columbia
300 Super 7 tournament, the last for the year in this
series for 2006.
Bowlers
found the conditions challenging and demanding leading
up to the masters on Sunday. In the masters bowlers
who adjusted and found the line quickly prevailed.
They found each lane different as they progressed
through out the day and the field in each division
consisted of varying bowler technics and styles, which
made a difference in the end.
Congratulations
to David Davies, Megan Fletcher, Macca Manawaiti and
Daniel Gillies who won their respective divisions,

New Zealand team comes within three points
of winning the 2006 Walter Rachuig Trophy.
AMF
Moonah, Hobart, was the host for this
years 2006 Walter Rachuig Trophy and
the Australian Nationals. The New Zealand
Team travelled across the ditch to compete
against 9 other Australian Teams in
the prestigious Walter Rachuig Trophy
Tournament.
After
3 days of intense competition the New
Zealand womens team finished 2nd only
2 points behind the New South Wales
ladies the highest position for a New
Zealand team since we have been competing
at Rachuig. The mens team ended up in
5th place only one point from out right
3rd place. The New Zealand mens team
needed just 3 more points over the three
days of competition for New Zealand
to win over all.
This
is the closest that the New Zealand
team has been to winning the Walter
Rachuig Trophy off the Australians.
As the manager of the New Zealand team
this competition proved that we have
the ability to match it with the Australians
and win this particular tournament out
right. It also shows that as a team
we should take responsibility for our
actions on and off the lanes through
dedicated practice, national pride and
TEAM work.
Congratulations to the womens team and
well done to all involved and bring
on next year.
Also
while in Hobart the NZ team competed
in the Australian Nationals involving
teams, doubles and singles events. David
Davies finished on top and won the mens
open singles and an unprecedented ten
bowlers qualified for the Australian
open masters.
Dianne Robinson from Christchurch cleaned
up the top seeds in the ladies division
and bowled her way to the grand final
another first for New Zealand. Dianne
gave it her all and was eventually beaten
by her opponent three games to one,
well done Dianne.

Men’s
World Championships, Busan, Korea, 26 Aug to Sept
9 2006.
Hi
All,
In
the trios, the guys found the transition from
the long oil to the short oil very tough, as
the lanes dried out extremely quick. Craig and
Robbie are adjusting accordingly and shooting
well. The whole team bowled well on the long
oil on the 2nd day, but the air-conditioning
broke down in the centre which made it extremely
hot.
In
the teams yesterday everybody bowled well on
the long oil, setting us up for the short oil
today from 12pm NZ time.
In
the Singles on Wednesday and Thursday we have
bowlers in the following squads (all times are
NZ time)
Wednesday,
12pm and 4.30pm, 2 bowlers each Thursday, 4.30pm.
2 bowlers.
The
lineups for these squads are yet to be confirmed.
The
masters on Friday is the last event, followed
by the banquet. We fly out of Busan at 8.45am
Saturday local time, which makes for a very
early wakeup call after the banquet.
Hi All,
After
a very long long 17 hour plane trip we all arrived
safely with all luggage intact and we got away
without being charged for excess baggage, we
were 20 kilos over.
A
few of the boys are suffering from swollen fingers
due to the long flight and hot humid weather
here. It has been 25-30 degrees and about 70%
humidity.
In
the doubles squads over the last 2 days all
bowlers have bowled their entering averages
or above so I am pleased with that given the
fact that for some of them its their first overseas
tournament. All 3 doubles combos struggled in
the last game due to drastic changes in lane
conditions on the long oil pattern.
On
the long oil the conditions are good for first
3 games and start to breakdown after that. Jason
and Craig had to bowl on standby lanes during
the last game as their last pair broke down.
They had to bowl on 1&2 where they found
the conditions VERY sub standard and very unpredictable
- hence the low scores.
The
calibre of bowlers here is extremely high and
very competitive. Some of our bowlers have a
few nerves but all in all they are handling
it well. Most mornings we have a 5.45am wake
up call, breakfast is at 6.30 am and we're on
the the bus at 7.30am to go to bowling centre.
Communicating with the locals has been a test
and making sure we get the right food whilst
eating out every day is also a challenge.
The
Trios lineups for Sat and Sun are as follows
(all times are NZ time):
Block
1 - Short Oil
Sat 12pm Robbie, Tony, Fred.
Sat 3.45pm Jason, James, Craig.
Block
2 - Long Oil
Sun 12pm Jason, James, Craig.
Sun 7.30pm Robbie, Tony, Fred.

2006 QubicaAMF World Cup Qualifying.
Jason
Waters successfully defends his 2005 title at
New Zealands World Cup Qualifying Round.
Tenpin
Lincoln Road, Auckland played host to the 2006
QubicaAMF World Cup NZ Qualifying Round over
the weekend of August 5-6. Saturday was stage
1 where 32 bowlers bowled three blocks of six
games on three different conditions to find
the top 12 bowlers to contest stage 2 on Sunday.
After
the first 6 games David Brown finished on top
with a 227 average followed by Jason Waters
218 ave and David Davies 213 ave respectively.
The next block of six games Craig Nevatt bowled
a personal best and blitzed the field with a
stunning 244 ave finishing on top with David
Brown and David Davies 2nd and 3rd respectively.
The third block of six games was nothing short
of spectacular bowling with Craig Nevatt bowling
a 247 average and finishing on top 244 pins
clear of 2nd place David Brown and David Davies.
Also in the third block Adrian Judd bowled a
perfect 300 game.
Sunday
was stage two with the top 12 bowlers from the
day before playing 11 games head to head with
carried over pinfall.
Defending Champion Jason Waters finished on
top followed by Craig Nevatt, David Davies and
Clinton Beacham respectively.
This
set up an impressive stepladder final where
bowlers played the best of three games against
each other. First up was Clinton Beacham who
qualified 4th playing 3rd place David Davies.
Clinton prevailed winning 2 games where he went
on to play 2nd placed bowler Craig Nevatt. Craig
won the first two games, which set up a nail
biting grand final against the defending champion
Jason Waters.
The
final went to 3 games where Craig Nevatt won
2 out of three games. As the highest qualifier
Jason Waters had the right to re-challenge and
so it carried on into another 3 games. Jason
won the first game 227 to 221. In the second
game Jason seemed to struggle bowling a 154
to Craigs 217. The last game to decide the winner
was a frame by frame nail biter with the lead
changing constantly. It came down to the last
two frames where Jason Waters put a string of
strikes together to prevail over Craig 192 to
184.
In the women’s decider Suzanne Howell
held her own to the last game to become the
women’s representative for New Zealand
at this years World cup. In other results Sonny
Reguerra took out the plate final with Suzanne
Howell and Gregorio Nicolas finishing 2nd and
3rd respectively.
Both Jason and Suzanne will travel to Caracas
Venezuela to represent New Zealand in the 2006
QubicaAMF World Cup November 4-10 this year.

Final
Day – MASTERS GOLD for Banks
and Frilingos at III Commonwealth
Tenpin Bowling Championship
An exuberant crowd of locals and overseas
visitors cheered Australia’s George
Frilingos and England’s Fiona Banks
to victory in the final matches of the Masters
Stepladder final at OzTenpin Bowl in Melbourne
this afternoon.
Top
seed Frilingos recovered from a 41 pin deficit
in the first of the 2-game final to take
the coveted Masters Gold by a slim 2 pin
margin, (170-211, and 208-165) from Mohd
Noer Said from Malaysia. Mohd Noer Said
advanced to the final after defeating Jon
Zadel from England 223-186 after Zadel uncharacteristically
opened in two frames in the single-game
Semi-final.
On
the adjoining lanes, the first match of
the Women’s stepladder final saw Canada’s
Jennifer Willis-Park eliminate Australia’s
Ann Maree Putney in a close game, 213-210
to then face an in-form Fiona Banks from
England in the 2-game final. The plucky
Canadian established a 3 pin lead after
both bowlers opened frames in the first
game, but Fiona Banks closed the gap to
clinch the Gold medal, 199-202 and 233-222.
A
colourful closing ceremony and trophy presentation
acknowledged the All-Events winners –
Australia’s Ann Maree Putney from
Newcastle and Dominic Barrett from Essex
in England. The TRIPLE DIAMOND PERPETUAL
TROPHY, denoting the three Zones of the
sport encompassed by the Commonwealth, was
then presented to the inaugural Award winner,
Team Australia, on behalf of donor, the
Australian Diamond Company.
The
ceremony culminated with a march-out of
the Men’s and Women’s Masters
medal-winners and their Coaches, with Commonwealth
Games Federation CEO, Michael Hooper presenting
the CGF-endorsed medals, assisted by TBA
Director, Kathy Smith. Prior to presenting
the Masters Championship medals, Michael
Hooper addressed competitors and officials,
commending the Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling
Federation for staging its third successful
Championship and encouraging its members
to enlarge the circle of participating countries
as widely as possible in future Championships.

KIWIS IN THE MASTERS AT THE COMMONWEALTH CHAMPS
The
great bowling is continuing from the Kiwis
at the Commonwealth Champs in
Melbourne, Jason Waters and Ivena Heald
both qualified for the masters, and
Craig Nevatt and Julieanne Mollet both missed
out by only one spot.
In
the Masters, Ivena finished a credible 10th
place. But Jason pulled out
a huge effort on the 2nd day to miss the
cut for the top 3 stepladder final
by only 12 pins. Jason's 4th place is the
best effort by a kiwi bowler at a
world tournament for many years. Well done
Jason, superb stuff.
KIWIS CONTINUE TO FLY AT COMMONWEALTH CHAMPS
The great bowling is continuing from the Kiwis
at the Commonwealth Champs in Melbourne, Jason
Waters and Ivena Heald both qualified for the

highlight yesterday was Jason's 278 game, equalling
the tournament's highest game to date. Well done
all, and keep up the great bowling today.

Craig and Jason took out the bronze medal in
the men’s doubles event at the Commonwealth
Championships. They tied for third place with
England’s Dominic Barrett who is seeded

and finished on a combined Ave of 205.3 to take
the third spot. Malaysia finished on top followed
by Australia less than 80 pins in front of both
New Zealand and England.
