self praise eh supermo are you going to play the countys on ya own?

Didnt see you in this years top 15 of the the adult trials, cant you hack it with us kids, or do you like bowling in the comfort of pensioners?

Why didnt you make the top 15?

Thanks Rachel - that saved me saying it again lol.
After discussion with the ICC Tournament manager on the point of splitting the trials I was imformed that they must held as one event but that it was acceptable that they could be held over more than one centre over more than one date providing that it did not stretch beyond "a reasonable period". The reasonable period was described as around a month. We have stayed as close to that as possible given availability of lanes and other tournaments. As I said earlier and Rachel has reiterated - the time to complain was last year, not now. If you wish to see the date changed come to the meetings or get someone to come on your behalf. Put yourself our for once if you feel strongly about it, please don't just moan and expect everyone else to run round after you.

Since I was about 14 ive bowled for the county, on a few occasions ive represented more than 1 squad. If they were split by squads then the cost would be massive!

This year ill be trying for YAC's and the adults again. So any of you people that think it should be split by age, you can fund it for myself and all the other people that want to try for more than 1 squad

U18
It is'nt self praise at all i'm just letting you know
that i dont just bowl in the coffee morning pensioners league,and i dont hack around as you put it. I have a 200 plus ave in ALL leagues and ranking tournaments i play in
Thurs edge lane 205 over 200 Masters worsley 205 over 60 Tuesday scratch worsley 200 over 75 and a tounament ave 205
so if you want to clean my shoes next time we meet let me know....I did give all the team the best of praise the way they bowled in the counties and thought they done a great job (you can check from my previous messages)and iv'e never knocked them.You may even be a good up and coming bowler yourself, but dont knock the oldies you may have to play me one day..i can be can be your worst nightmare...lol

U18
To answer your question why i did'nt make it is that sometimes you dont always bowl your best over 6 games as has been said many times before and i'm no different to anyone else. I think the format now will give everybody a totally fair chance of proving whether they are good enough over two centers and 16 games.

Supermo, How come you keep geting beat by a 13 year old at Edgelane?

windy
 Its hard to give anyone a 100 pins a game even a 13 yr old..lol

i would just like to congratulate joanne lovell on making the final 20 of the team england trials

lets hope the countie can get behind her and hope she makes the final 6 at the next stage in sheffield


p.s sorry don't know how kat did as i'm away at the momemt

well done jo

Stop moaning all you Juniors , YACS and Seniors as far as i can see you have the best of all worlds. You can all play in the adult team if you qualify but I as an adult cannot play for the juniors , the YACs or the seniors (don't think there is an equal opp's policy there some how). So think yourselfs lucky that you have so many opportunities whereas I only have one. Stick to your own teams and give everyone a chance of making at least one team!!!!

Well done and keep it up Jo!!!! Glad to see another lancs bod doing so well.

Speaking of Lancs bods, I would just like to say an enormous CONGRATULATIONS to our girl Zara Glover, who is Singles, Doubles and All Events World Champion, and she has also got a silver in the trios event as well, just to top things off. Best of luck for the Masters Zed, I am sure everyone wishes you all the best in the world!!!

See what lancashire can do when we put our minds to it!!! :-)

don't u mean congrats to hampshire as zara's just graduated from portsmouth uni. see what happens when u escape from lancashire and play on proper conditions

where's me map
good thinking not putting your real name - Hope you can run fast if she finds out who you are. Zara ia born and bred Lancashire and proud of it - as you well know! She might just be a little upset with you for suggesting she is a "suvverner".
It's ok I won't tell her who you are - unless she asks me -hehehe.

Please can someone let me know when the entry forms for the trials will be available. Can you also confirm the dates,times and centre that the JUNIOR squads have to bowl. I am very aware that it is only a short time before trials and things need to get organised asap.

All age groups will bowl at Burnley bowl on the 12th 19th or 26th October. Registration 9.45am roll off 10.30.
If you can't get hold of entry forms please e-mail me and I will mail a copy to you.
Those bowling for selection in the adult squads will bowl at Burnley on the above dates AND at Worsley on either the 23rd or 30th November.

I'm very offended, being accused of being a Southern Shandy Drinking Fairy!!!!!! I'm also living in Bournemouth so it's Dorset. If you really think things are so different down here you a mistaken. There are still the same people every area has complaining about everything without having any constructive ideas on how to improve things. The only way to get better is to travel to different areas and tournaments to play on a variety of conditions. There are no good and bad conditions (so long as there is some head oil to protect the lanes), just bad bowlers who don't know how to adjust.

and this coming from a Double World Champion - who does she think she is!!!! hee hee. NICE ONE ZED!!!!!!
