Ben,
Seeing that u have mad the state side now, (congrats), Don't u think u should bowl in the skins tourney next week!! 2 reasons. 1. That you will gain valuable experience bowling with/against the best bowlers in the state.
2. You will also gain valuable experience bowling on a flat, gutter to gutter fiq standard pattern that you don't see in Hobart. The experience you will get will far outway the $75 cost
Just something for you to think about.
