Ryston juniors honoured at presentations

There was a new format for the Ryston Junior Awards gala, which consisted of two games of bowling followed by the presentations.

Due to Covid, it had been a few years since the last such event so it was based on results from the 2022/2023 season.

Nominating athletes is always a tricky task as there are so many worthy winners.

This year, all coaches voted anonymously, and decisions were made by nomination majority, taking into consideration ten 10 results, how often the athletes represented the club, and dedication to the sport.

In addition to the usual awards, there were presentations relating to points earned in a new Ryston Junior

League which ran from October 2022 to March 2023.

This was to encourage juniors to earn points by attending training, participating in competition, and encouraging their parents to help.

The 2022/23 winners were as follows.
