Tasmanian Team Presentation Night.

by admin on March 27, 2014

Tonight saw the Tasmanian Open Team Presentation Night on the eve of the Super 6 National Championships.  The players were presented with their new State uniforms that will be unvailed to the public tomorrow by the 6 men and women representing the Apple Isle tomorrow on home soil at the South Burnie Bowls Club.
A special, secret part of the evening was the introduction of the new ‘Milestone Caps’.  Each Tasmanian representative from here on will presented with a special milestone cap with embroidery on the side to mark how many milestone games they have played for Tasmania.  50+ games, 100+ games etc will be honoured by Bowls Tasmania to their representatives as a reward and recognition of their dedication to the sport and their representation of our State at an Open level of competition.
Mark Strochnetter was presented with the highest cap number for a current playing member of the team when he was given his 250 games cap.  Strochnetter has played 279 games for Tasmania, fourth on the all time list behind greats Chris McKibben (345 games), Michael Hill (315) and Peter Zoon (287 games).
