Kittyhawk National Under 21 Singles
ABOUT THE KITTYHAWKS
During a break at an open tournament at Okahu Bay in 1977 a germ of an idea from Bos Kostinich
and Bob McDonald took life. From a table in the clubhouse doorway they compiled a short list of
willing prospects on show and so started what was to become the Kittyhawk Bowling Club!
Soon after this on 20th December 1977 this initial group of 25 met and threw ideas around. The
principle thoughts were to develop a loosely structured club along the lines of the Eagles Golfing
Society. The main objective was to draw together bowlers who had already contributed time and
effort to their own clubs, and could now enjoy the company of a wider group.
From this a steering committee of Bos Kostinich, Marshall Smith, Cliff Shanks, Colin Brown and Bob
McDonald was formed and known as the ‘Crusaders’ to put together some ideas. A meeting called
for the 8th March 1978 was attended by 50 bowlers. After much discussion and good humour, with
many ideas shared, the ‘Kittyhawk Bowling Club’ was born.
The first Annual Meeting was held in June 1978. Bos Kostinich was elected Founder President and
Cliff Shanks presented a draft set of regulations. Colin Brown’s ideas were considered best! So
started the now familiar soft gold colour Blazers. Original ties and badges and monograms, which
were soon replaced by the present discreet design.
The Auckland Kittyhawk also includes Counties and North Harbour, and in recent years have spread
to Northland, Taranaki, Tauranga and Dunedin. Both Kittyhawk and Bowls New Zealand’s wish to see
Kittyhawk have a more national flavour.
The membership of the Kittyhawks is kept at around 120 people and the administration has done
their utmost to have a membership who;
a. Have a profile in the sport OR
b. Are well known people in the bowling community OR
c. Have a commitment to fund raising events
They also endeavour to have a membership who are able to take an active role, rather than
members who just want to be members or who are unable to take an active role.
Over the years the Kittyhawks have raised many thousands of dollars for the Halberg Trust and this
involvement is acknowledged each year at the Halberg NZ Sports Award function.

WELCOME

On behalf of Bowls New Zealand a very warm welcome to Auckland for the
2015 Kittyhawk National Under 21 Singles. Congratulations on being here.
Whether you win or lose we hope we you enjoy this experience.
This tournament, being held for the 24th time, holds an important place in
our ‘Pathways’ programme. Youth bowlers are certainly coming to the fore in
our National events and most learned their trade at tournaments like this. I
am confident that with the calibre of the field this year, we will continue to
see players from this age group go on to succeed at higher levels both
nationally and for the Blackjacks.
Pakuranga Bowling Club is once again hosting this event and we thank them for their continued
support. Like all major tournaments this would not be possible without the support of many people.
To those volunteers, we thank you sincerely for the amazing job we know you will do for the bowlers
over the next few days.
Please enjoy not only the competition but also the social side of bowls. I look forward to meeting
you all and helping ensure that the memories of this event are ones to remember.
Good luck!

WELCOME
On behalf of Auckland Bowls I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all the players, supporters and officials to the 2015 Kittyhawk National Under 21 Singles Championships. This is a tournament of great prestige in the bowls calendar and has launched the bowling career of many top players. It is great to see the women’s field increase in size this year, giving opportunity for more young women to compete. Special thanks to the Kittyhawk Bowling Club members and to the Pakuranga Bowling Club members for once again hosting this event. The many hours put in by the various volunteers to organise and run this event is very much appreciated. I would also like to thank the Blue Waters Community Trust for their financial support of this event. Good bowling and enjoy the experience.
Peter McKechnie
President, Auckland Bowls
On behalf of Kittyhawk Bowling Club a very warm welcome to all concerned with the 2015 Kittyhawk National Under 21 Singles tournament. Again the entries are of a very high standard which augurs well for a great weekend of bowls. I offer my congratulations to those who have qualified and wish you every success in this weekend’s tournament. I sincerely hope it is just the beginning of your involvement with the top tier of bowls events nationally and for some of you even internationally. There is no better example of this than last year’s winner Ashleigh Jeffcoat who this year has already gone on to being a member of the Development Trans Tasman team. In addition to this, friendships are formed and renewed every year on the bowling greens around the country and because bowls is a game for life these friendships can, and do, literally last a lifetime. Enjoy the tournament, play well and good luck. Don Wilson
President, Kittyhawk Bowling Club
