Following on from the Canoe and Campi competitions on the weekend 15 & 16 August, our 1 to 5 year bowlers are taking on teams from across Auckland district in the ABCA Cup this Saturday, 22nd August 2026.
What is the the ABCA Cup? It is a one-day optional fours tournament that celebrates unity, development, and the rich legacy of junior bowls coaching in Auckland. Hosted at Howick and Pakuranga Bowling Clubs, the ABCA Cup brings together male and female junior bowlers from across the winter coaching programme, forming zone teams that reflect collaboration and shared growth. This event is more than just a finale — it’s a tribute to the enduring impact of the Auckland Bowling Coaches Association (now Bowls Auckland Coaches Committee), whose work laid the foundations for the junior development pathway we see today.
Congratulations and good bowling to our two teams of players who put their names forward to take part.
Our two teams are:
Ann Yearbury – Bowls Orewa
Kay Hewitt – Bowls Orewa
Jerome Kwok -Northcote
Peter Russell – Waimauku
Heather Speedy – Hobsonville
Louise Stewart – Bowls Orewa
Ran Randeniya – Browns Bay
Todd Robertson – Warkworth
Both Bowls North Harbour teams are playing at the Pakuranga Bowling Club situated in Lord Elsmore Park.
