PENNANT SEASON OPENING
In a new initiative club President Mark Donehue presented one of his very informative and high-class Power Point presentations to herald our 2026 pennant season. In his talk he covered the work of the selectors, the honour and responsibility of wearing club colours, the need for more managers and the great pride we take in fielding seven pennant teams. In fact, everything to do with the upcoming pennant competition.
He even invited BPL Coach and former International player Steve Glasson in to give us a few insights into how to approach a pennant season as a player. After giving a brief history of his playing days from junior to World Outdoor Bowls Champion Steve made the following points:
• Be proud to be a Ram
• Support your teammates
• Treat others as you would like to be treated
• Every member of the team is important
• Don’t buy into negative comments
• Think about your bowls ‘Where will this end up if I miss?’
• Master Board is critical
• Focus on technique to play the shot not the result you want from it
• Roll up before the game to get your body moving and your mind in the right place
• If you are down you must be up at the head
• Approach Selectors with respect and think about their answers
• Selectors should talk to players and explain their decisions
• Celebrate team success.
• The club should have a philosophy on what it wants to achieve
