Because of timing constraints, the contesting teams played 7 ends each and not the usual ten as in the first 3 rounds.
The finals were much more closely contested, with the top two teams of Cricket (Pfunanane) & Hennie (Klofies) battling it out for supremacy.
On the 6th end both teams were peeled on 5 points each, so this had the makings of an exciting but tense last end!
Before the last two bowls were played, Pfunane were holding 2 shots. Cricket bowled her last wood and unfortunately clipped the jack, but luckily still holding 1 shot. It was then Hennie’s turn to play the last wood of the game. He bowled a confident wood but the shot still held for Cricket’s Team.
On behalf of the committee and members of Duiwelskloof Bowls Club, they wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to Duiwelskloof (Klofies) Primary School and Pfunannane Academy for supporting their project with a view to getting youngsters, as well as teachers, involved in this fantastic sport of bowls. Without their participation, this project would not have been possible. There will be another Inter-School League next term at a date to be advised. (To those kids that wish to further their bowling knowledge during the school holidays, please see the last paragraph of this article).
After the games it was prize giving with delicious eats and cokes. Duiwelskloof Bowls Club extends their thanks and appreciation to the prize sponsors namely: Coca-Cola Fortune, Blue Label Telecoms & Pro Brand Corporate Promotions. Their valued support is highly appreciated.
