BOWLS ENGLAND RECOGNISE OAKLEY JUNIORS
It was great news for President Mary and the Oakley tourists when we learnt today that the Bowls England selectors have recognised the talent of our three junior members. We were probably expecting that Nicole Rogers, already capped at under 25 level, would make the 12 strong under 18 team to play Wales in a test series at Barry over the weekend of 17th/18th September but we were delighted to hear that Ashley Nethercliffe, following his good performances in the Sutton Winson Trophy, had also made the team. With Louis McCubbin from Southsea Waverley also selected Hampshire will be providing 25% of the team.
The good news did not stop there as Ashley and Heather Statham have both been invited to the Bowls England Junior Academy weekend to be held at Leamington on the 24th/25th September. Congratulations to all three players.
