Wiseman Park expect top Kiwi bowler Pascoe to be a major addition to its Grade 1 pennants team this season.
Pascoe will partner 2017 Illawarra Fours champions Tom Hull and Luke Cocksedge, plus Brett Pritchard against a Woonona side skipped by new Senior Pairs champion Jack Forbes in a stand-out round one match-up.
Reigning Zone 16 Fours winning skip Shane Garvey is among a few top players who have elected to bypass the Fours championship to play in the Bowls Premier League in either Brisbane or Victoria.
But leading Illawarra bowlers Jesse Noronha, Matt Miles, Russell Campbell, Dean Aitken, Harley McDonald, John Hills, David Wakeling, Aaron Spears, Ken Hunt and Rick Malley will all still skip teams in the Illawarra Fours.
