PENNANTS 2007
For Your Information
When the information, gathered via the questionnaire, asking for preferences in regards to Playing Partners and Positions, was applied we found the following.
PREFERRED POSITIONS:
83 of 88 Bowlers were placed in the position of their choice.
Depending on AVAILABILITY and or FORM this may change!!
PREFERRED PLAYING PARTNERS:
This proved a lot more difficult; we identified 2 reasons as to why.
· There is a SHORTAGE of THIRDS and SKIPS especially when you get to the lower grades, forcing the Selector’s hand re TEAM COMPOSITION.
· The PLAYER GROUPS each bowler was given to choose from could have been compiled better, resulting in bowlers asking for the unlikely if not impossible.
Sorry, my fault! Should the opportunity arise I will do better!
There were 15 bowlers who have not been partnered with a player of their choice; all others have at least been partnered with at least one or more.
Depending on AVAILABILITY and or FORM this may change.
I promise this is the last time that I will hark on about COMMITMENT, now it is up to you, the DOUBLE BAYBOWLING CLUB PENNANT PLAYER!!!
Over the next 6 TRIALS selectors will FINE-TUNE POSITIONS and TEAMS, ----CHANGES WILL OCCUR!!!
We ask for your co-operation and patience, thank you.
Teams will be picked on the bases of
ABILITY – COMPATIBILITY – COMMITMENT
We will aim for STABILITY AND CONTINUITY, AFTER THE 10TH OF MARCH 2007ONLY AVAILABILITY and or LOSS OF FORM WILL MAKE SELECTORS CHANGE TEAMS!!!
