“We've got a lot of players to choose from this year, we've got 93 players looking at fitting into 72 spots, so it's difficult for the selectors, but they're doing a great job so far,” Moama bowls director Kevin Anderson said.
“The members have been putting the work in, they've been training, they've been turning up and having a crack, and we've been rewarded on the greens with some good results to start the season.”
