Sending out an SOS to all NSW Girls

Jack Daniels

Jack Daniels
To all girls under the age of 21 who have ever dreamt of representing there State at Tenpin Bowling, I am calling you....

With only one week to go before entries close for this years East Coast Cup, Team NSW is facing the problem of perhaps not fielding a team in the Girls division due to lack of interest.

I understand that Presidents shield went thru a similar problem this year too. What is going on?

I know that one of my dreams was to try out and make the NSW team for either associations, and have never regretted the decision to do it.

I don't have too much trouble getting girls to bowl GrandPrixs and they are competing against the boys, this is to compete against other girls and to prove that NSW is bettter than Victoria & Queensland.

East Coast is an experience you will never experience anywhere else. Some of our biggest names have bowl in at least one East Coast Cup somewhere along the line.

If we don't have the talented Junior/Youth bowlers of today showing there desire to represent there state, they were does it leave the future of our game?

For more information please contact Barbara Marcollini on (02) 45791035.

Just in reply to what Mr GrandPrixs said about shield having a lack of interest and "whats going on?"

Its the time, the cost, the bitchiness, bullshit......
I work and for people my age its hard to bowl, my jobs more important than shield.
I went to brisbane in 2001 and bowled individually and it cost me(not including spending money) around 950 dollars!!
Not just because of the older ones leaving, but look at shield this yr, its mostly 13-16 yr olds and hardly anyone from 16-18, THEY WORK! The other ones are in jnr high school and arnt old enough to work and their mums pay for them. They get over shield and that, you cant just bowl cos everyone says "c'mon, you did it last yr, it'll be awsome".
And, just for the girls, EVERY year in EVERY team its the girls.. they bitch, they fight, they backstab, they lie its ridiculous, they cant live in a hotel for a week without fighting about little shitty things....i no, i was one of em,lol!
Im going to apply for a traineeship tomorrow and if that starts when nats is on then ill be pissed, but ill get over it, theres always next year...

I mean i loved shield, it was a great experience for me, if i could i would do it again maybe but at some point you have to get over it and get on with your life, i bowled in it for 2 years... when someone leaves someone comes so it all works out...

Personally i think oppinions dont matter in shield your say is last and i dont feel that its really herd.

Well thats why i think theres a lack of interest....

Now im just going to wait and read that everyone will disagree with everything i just said,lol...
 
Damn straight people will disagree lozz, your a good friend, but what you said is your oppinion and not many would share it.

Not many 16-18 year olds miss out on shield to work lozz, thats just what your doing, to YOU, work is more important, but to us people that are dedicated to our sport, shield is the pinnacle level of junior bowling. And dont make assumptions:

a$s-u-me
You'll make an a$s out of you and me!

This is my 2nd year going away with the team and i've payed for at least 80% of the costs, purely because im passionate about the sport and would do just about anything to bowl it.

You said you got over it and want to get on with your life? Well for some, bowling is one of the most important things in their life, you have your whole life to work, you can't bowl shield after your 18.

Your oppinion is valid and your are entitled to it, but just don't expect ANYONE to agree with it, bowling obviously isn't on the top of your priorities, for some of us it is.

I don't mean to take a stab at you, im just laying it out as I see.

Can I grab a number or an email addy of someone I can contact for exact costs and dates please?
Also, I agree with what Macca said cuz I also contribute to my own bowling costs coz I am passionate bout the sport.

then the roll off for the teams is held on the 27th of june
thanx hope u give barb a call an she will give u full details of what u need to know

Now what the hell was lozz on about what does this have to do with president shield this is about asking ppl to come join east coast this yr there's no need to go about b####ing ova somthing this topic isnt related on
 
Hey all,
i just want to say that i have bowled in ECCC for queensland for 2 yrs and this will be my third...i have neva been in a competition this great before...i agree that there is alot of bitchyness and back-stabbing but you do have fun despite it...especially when you get to go away...it does cost alot of money and yeah you do get stuck in the bowling alley alot...but when you make so many more friends and you get out there and compete for your state you really enjoy yourself...i wouldnt trade ECCC for anything else...its a great experience.
 
what's east coast challenge? can anyone enter or is it only available to the "in" people through word of mouth? i dont ever recall it being advertised ......ever.
is it possible to get an entry form or 3 sent to lismore and ballina? there are some up and comming juniors in ballina nowdays and maybe they might be interested.

and,
i don't think it's fair of you all to dismiss lozz's opinion like that. i know a lot of young women who have had to make the same choice.
just because a job isn't valuable to YOU doesn't mean you can or should dismiss it as important to others.
