To all of the competitors, coaches, manager and supporters who flew the flag at the Junior Nationals what a great job done.
Well done to the boys who made All stars, the 300 game and of course Australian Masters winner. We were very proud of performances by both boys and girls and hope that the girls team provided some opportunities and motivation for future competitions.
Once again a job well done by all and I hope that you enjoyed the experience.

[Rowey the li'l lefty]

Let me start by saying to everybody...Congratualtions!!! You all bowled really well and enjoyed yourself along the way...That's what bowling is all about

To the boys...

Ashleigh a.k.a Bowen - The head cheerer. Mate, you did an awesome job keeping the team going when we needed it the most. You did your bit for the team when you were and weren't bowling and showed true team spirit in doing so. Well done buddy

Wade a.k.a Selwood - What can I say. Like all the boys, one of the nicest guys you will meet and ALWAYS a true team player. You bowled so well and did an absolutely awesome job all the way through. Congrats on making All-Stars!!!

Brennan a.k.a Wild Child - Another great team sport. You did the job when it needed to be done and really helped to chip in and get us to the finish we got to. Keep up the great work.

Shane a.k.a Romeo - What a champ. You took every single opportunity you got and never looked back. Thanks for helping me, along with the other boys, in doing such a good job in keeping the momentum and motivation of the boys going (You like the other boys helped me when I needed it). It was great to see you bowl your first 300 as part of Team NT

Ryan a.k.a...??? - What a way to start with Shield. It was a different Ryan out there on the lanes when you bowled with us, and it was great to see you bowl so well and help us get to such a great result. You've got a big future ahead of you.

Scotty J a.k.a The Rock - The anchor. Nuff said there buddy! You, like all of the boys, came in with nothing to lose and everything to gain...and that is exactly what you did. Top all star and constantly giving it 110% (it certainly is possible), you really thrived this year. Congrats on an absolutely awesome Nationals and I know you're going to be able to smash it a lot more in the future!

Taz - The coach. You really helped us fire when we needed to fire. Thanks for doing such a great job in keeping us all going and thanks for the opportunity to discuss tactics and what our best options were. The plan paid off, Taz You, like Steve, had a few laughs at your own expense at times haha!

Steve - Great, great work as manager/clown (at your own expense a lot of times haha). You did a great job in keeping us going like everybody else and is was great working with you. Keep up the good work!

To June, Rob, Myra, the girls, the parents, and everybody else who helped us out and bowled with us, thank you for making this years NT Boys Team THE VERY FIRST BOYS TEAM TO GET A MEDAL!!! From lane tactics to team talks to jokes and laughter, we never looked back and I'm proud of you all.

Thanks for the opportunity to work with such a great team and it'll definetly be something I'll always remember as one of the great times I've ever had in my bowling career.

Cheers and all the best,

Hooroo,

Rowey
