Gwen Lawson: Covid still disrupting Northland bowls events

The first bowl for the season in Dannevirke. Meanwhile in Covid alert level 3 Northland, bowls are disrupted again this weekend.

BOWLS CHAT

This weekend the centre was scheduled to hold the open championship pairs event at four clubs throughout the region.

Sixty teams had entered this event but unfortunately, because Northland has been left
in Covid-19 level three until Monday, the event has had to be postponed.

The centre will look for another weekend to play this event before the end of the season. Clubs will be notified in due course.

Notice has been sent to all clubs, so please ensure all your players have been notified.
