Terry Antram has a few months of hard work ahead of him. The Nelson Bay skipper has survived the latest whittling of the Australian Team to be one of the last 8 men in contention for the 6 available spots in the 2010 Commonwealth Games team.

Antram's main priority will be to impress Australian selectors and make the list for Delhi in October. "I have been picked to play for Australia in the Trans Tasman coming up in May", Antram said, "and there is also the Alley Shield (Australian Sides Championships) in April. I will be hoping to put on a good performance in those events." 

Earlier this week Antram also joined Team Henselite - choosing Henselite Dreamlines as his bowl for the up coming tournaments. "Dreamlines hold a good line and the turn is consistent" said Antram. "They don't turn early and I like them for playing yard on weight. They play that well."

As well as being one of the country's top bowlers, Antram is so passionate about bowls he also finds time to work as Nelson Bay Bowling Club's Bowls Development Manager. He said of the sport, "Everyone can play it. Your average club bowler can play against some of the world's best players, like Mark Jacobsen who has won Commonwealth Games Gold Medals and things. That's what I love about it."

Antram will be in action for NSW in the Australian Sides Championships at Holdfast Bay Bowling Club, SA, April 9-12.
