Bowls New Zealand

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 💙
1 in 8 Kiwi men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.
The good news? Early detection can make a huge difference.
So here's our challenge to the bowls community:
Before your next game, ask yourself: "Have I had the conversation?"
And while you're at it, check in with a mate too.
Because the only thing we want our bowlers worrying about this season is whether they're holding shot.
💙

All the best to the Para Bowls New Zealand crew in South Korea!

The Para team to represent New Zealand at the Presidential Cup in Korea:
Ross Peden, Paul McOscar, Lynda Bennet, Peter Wylie, Pam Walker, Peter Horne, Sally Engi, Heather Cornelius, Chen Naude & Glenn Olsson.
Coach/Manager: Bruce Walker
Good luck everyone and ENJOY.
