Studholme Trophy

​​

​Studholme Trophy to start on Saturday 10 June 2023 and run for a total of 12 weeks as usual with the  semi finals and finals on 19  and 26 August respectively.

 The Studholme Trophy is held over 12 Saturday afternoons by teams representing different local suburbs such as  Beacon Point, West Wanaka, Aubrey, Pembroke, Albert Town, Village, Hāwea Gold, Hāwea Blue. The latter two teams are mainly made up of members of the Hāwea Bowling Club, whose members largely integrate into the Wānaka Bowling Club for the winter season.

The Studholme Trophy competition was started in 2006  in memory of well-known Wānaka identity Neil Studholme and has steadily grown in importance over the years, so that every one of the 12 weeks of competition is amazingly supported and, in addition to the 24 players playing on the day, there is always a great crowd of supporters. Competition between teams is always fierce with games often being decided by the last few bowls.
