New to the competition, the Elmwood Park Saints boast a powerful playing contingent and will be looking to set the pace at the top of the table.Last year’s Bowls3Five LIVE didn’t give much for Cantabrians to cheer about . . . the Woodend Jets failing to register a win in all 10 fixtures. However, expect the tables to be turned in this year’s showcase, with a Canterbury unit from Elmwood Park suiting up in their Dynasty Sport attire, backed by team sponsor, Harrisons.
Stepping out of the commentary box, double world champion Gary Lawson will spearhead a playing roster including seven-time national champion Mandy Boyd, Jan Shirley, Bev Morel and Canterbury representatives Lance Pascoe, Kelvin Scott and Nathan Glasson.
Make no mistake, the Saints will be out in force from game one and will be looking to march the trophy home, come November. ... See MoreSee Less
