Junior News Manly juniors have just wrapped up eight weeks of playing in the “big league” in the annual Poinciana Challenge on Brisbane’s bayside. The Saturday afternoon comp runs AprilJune each year and is for bowlers playing Division 6 Pennant and below. Each club fields a 10-man side, two pairs and two triples. Manly was pipped by Belmont in the final on June 8, Belmont fielding its toughest side ever in the final (Belmont fielded some juniors in the rounds but not in the final). Manly rotated its juniors through the lead position for the triples during Poinciana, to give the club’s youngest bowlers a chance to step up.
Manly juniors pipped in Poinciana “I’m so proud of them, we started putting our Junior Academy together on October 24 last year, and they’ve come a long way since then,” Manly juniors coach Trevor Musch said. Having raised a karate champ daughter, Musch is passionate about junior sport to keep kids busy and outdoors. Oldmac Mazda at Cleveland sponsored playing shirts for the Academy bowlers, which number between 16-20. They were delighted to receive a visit from State Juniors singles champ Sophie Young from Capalaba recently.
