Hawke's Bay bowler Colleen Ferrick and Northland's Ann Muir will play together for the first time this weekend since helping New Zealand win a bronze medal at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada.
Ferrick will play three and Bowls New Zealand president Muir will skip their composite team in Bowls Heretaunga's second annual Invitation Two-Day Women's Fours tournament. At Victoria, Canada, in 1994 Ferrick played two and Muir three alongside skip Adrienne Lambert and lead Marlene Castle in the Kiwi women's four which captured bronze.
"It will definitely be a reunion of sorts. It's all part of Ann's goal to visit every centre in New Zealand and to meet grassroots bowlers during her two-year term of office," Ferrick explained.
Ferrick's Heretaunga clubmate Elaine Lange and a yet-to-be-decided Whangarei clubmate of Muir's will also play in their team at this weekend's 16-team event, the Bay's most prestigious women's fours event which has attracted players from throughout the North Island.
