Nic will travel to Cabramatta to play third versus the city squad.
Nic has had a stellar representative year in lawn bowls only just recently finishing playing with other Glen Innes lawn bowler Brittany Camp in the interzone seven a side team.
During this tournament they won two games and lost three.
Nic said there is a gap in the learning at the moment with some of the stronger players becoming too old to play in these junior tournaments.
“It’s just one of those things about overall we need to practice together more plus we have a lack of experience in the team,” he said.
“The north coast is a friendly group and just very consistent.”
While at the CHS Carnival with Glen Innes junior Haylee Ross, Nic was also chose to represent at the NSW exchange series in Port Macquarie.
Bowls NSW picked this team to take on the CHS sides who were made up from 15 – 17 year olds from around the state.
At this series Nic brought home a gold medal in triples and also competed in the 4’s competition, the team also came third in the pairs and fourth in the singles.
“My bowls have definitely improved since we won state at Warilla,” he said.
“I think I’m five times better, I think it’s just more confident and consistent.”
