New Champions Crowned at the BNH 1-5 Year Champ of Champ Singles

The future of North Harbour bowls was on full display over the weekend of 6 and 7 June 2026, as the region’s finest emerging talents converged for the BNH 1-5 Year Champ of Champ Singles.

Featuring a stellar field of club champions, the tournament delivered high-stakes drama, immense skill, and a fantastic showcase of consistency under pressure. When the dust settled on Sunday afternoon, two incredibly deserving players stood tall as the center’s newest junior champions.

The Champions’ Circle

The 1-5 Year Champ of Champ Singles is one of the toughest junior titles to win, requiring absolute precision across two grueling days of knockout bowls.

Men’s Champion: Shaun Goldsbury (Manly)
Shaun put on an absolute clinic over the weekend, navigating a highly competitive men’s field. His composure and execution when it mattered most secured a brilliant victory for the Manly club.

Women’s Champion: Rebecca Brosnan (Takapuna)
Rebecca showed incredible draw-bowling consistency and tactical maturity to outlast a fierce women’s lineup, bringing yet another prestigious center title back to the Takapuna headquarters.

A Showcase of Junior Depth

The high caliber of bowls on display over the two days proved that the depth of talent across our North Harbour clubs is growing stronger every season. Playing in a Champ of Champs event is a massive milestone, and every single club representative pushed their opponents to the limit.

A massive thank you to the host venue, the volunteers, and the umpires/markers who gave up their weekend to ensure the tournament ran smoothly.  Mahurangi East, you are a brilliant host club!!!  Hot soup and a table full of yummies.  Thank you.

Congratulations to Shaun and Rebecca on their incredible triumphs, and to all the club champions who qualified and made the weekend such a highly competitive event!
