The Bowls Wellington Men’s Representative Team has dominated lawn bowls nationally over the past five years,
securing three consecutive National Inter-Centre wins (2023–25), along with earlier silver and bronze medals. This season, they won all seven trophies entered, often by large margins. A youthful, high-performance squad, they combine skill, competitiveness, and camaraderie.

Known for their ruthless on-green focus and friendly off-green demeanour, this tight-knit team ranks among Wellington’s most dominant national sports teams in recent times, with strong future potential.
