Ferndale Bowling Club hosted Bryanston Sports at the Johannesburg Bowls Association (JBA) Saturday League Men’s Trips Division Three.
Ferndale won 4—1 on the one rink but the visitors won 5—0 on the neighbouring rink and managed to do enough to win two bonus points and claim an overall 8—4 victory.
Warren Steyn of the Ferndale Club explained that their performance was great, and a great surface always brings out better performances. The league consists of 11 games, and they have six games left to play.
“We are looking forward to the next game. We will be humble and try to secure a victory. We are hoping to achieve promotion to the second division come the end of the season and that will mean we are growing our club’s strength.”
For the first time this season, Ferndale has been bumped down to second place and is one point behind the top spot.
Steyn added that bowling is truly a sport without barriers. Inspiration is achieved by being humble, and playing with, and against, people of all ages, races, religions, gender, and disabilities.
“Winning and losing on all sides of the equation – bowls is always the winner. The friendships made on bowling greens worldwide mean you are safe and have friends and help anywhere. Bowling offers all the support you could imagine, this is more like unexplained therapy for anyone, and blissful peace.”
