“The tournament is a fund-raising event where we raise funds for Rhinos 4 Africa, which is a rhino foundation,” said the local club’s president, Keith Ruddle.
“This is the second year we are hosting this event and the support for both events was amazing.
“We managed to raise R50 000 last year and we are hoping to do better this year.”
Ruddle also said that bowlers from as far as Mpumalanga and Durban competed in the tournament.
“The tournament attracted a lot of good men and women bowlers from across the country,” he said.
“We had 24 men’s teams and 12 women’s teams competing.”
The results of the three-day tournament are:
Women’s winning team: Linda van der Berg and partners.
Women’s runners-up team: Chery-Ann Mills and partners.
Men’s winning team: Ben Kassel and partners.
Men’s runners-up team: Craig Rimmington and partners.
In other news, the club invites more bowlers to join the club.
“We are always looking for new members; we invite those interested to come and meet the committee members with hope of becoming one of us,” explained Ruddle.
“You don’t have to be a bowls expert to join, those interested in learning the sport are also welcome, and we can teach you bowls.
“We hope to see more youngsters join the club.”
The club’s president also said that they are grateful for the metro’s assistance.
“Thank you to the metro, as they helped us get our greens ready and in such an amazing state, because normally they are brown and dead this time of the year,” Ruddle added.
