Hm, you all just got told!! 8)
Anyway, when I saw Matt bowling, he was bowling fine and anyway, even if he didnt, what ya gunna do? Its in the past we all have our bad games and if the coach thought he was bowling bad Im sure they would have sat him out.
But yeah, I wanna know who will be rolling off for W.A, good luck to all of ya and I'll catchya round.

After what seems like an eternity of hype, the trials for the WA shield team are FINALLY here
From word around the bowls, looks like there is going to be about the same amount as last year trying out for the teams. But hopefully we see at least 10 girls put their name down, and then over the next few years see the nomination rate incline to over 15 girls, as what it was in 2000 - made it a lot harder to make the team, rather than the walk-in it seems to be now. Sad but unfortunately true
Anyway, there should be mostly familiar faces in the guys team this year, with Gaz, the 2 Mitch's (Macho and Edom), and Matt - wouldn't be surprised if this was top 4. "Little Macho" to scrape in too
For the girls, Alli defintely top qualifier, Naomi (if she is trying out). Last years State Master's winner Simone should be up there too for the top 3. And Alli, that bet is still on
Should be a great, if not interesting, 3 days. Only 2 weeks to go boys and girls

i reckon it hasnt been a walk in. for the girls maybe because hardly anyone tried out, but for the guys it was a lot harder. look at it this way
Boys 2002
Michael Cox
Me
Chris Hall
Karl Clark
Ben McLoughlin
Allan Gilbert
Matt Kilgren (OK subbing for Colin Fiedler)
Only one had been in the team before (michael), with ben being a reserve in 2001. That means 6 newbies out of 7, 8 if u include colin.
Boys 2003
Me
Ben
Tom
Mike Wilkey
Brendan Payne
Kim Edwards
David Wilcox
Again this time we had 5 newbies, with myself and ben bowling the year before. It was a struggle for positions when some of us started bowling bad and slipped places during trials, and tom finishing ahead of ben after making up around 100 pins.
Boys 2004
Me again
Gary Ribbans
Mitch Edom
Mitch Marris
Matt Watson
Jay Ovens
Dean Adamson
Again 6 newbies in the team, who did an awesome effort this year. And the two who noone ever expected, jay and dean, beat some of the better ones like tom mike and david.
So this year will have its suprises, if mitchx2, matt and gary bowl well then they will be the "walk ins" I dont have a particular list but my top 4 are mitch e ben tom and mitch m.
To you all trying out good luck and i will go down and watch you's as i promised.
