SOUTHBROOM
A new and exciting tri-club competition, the Hibiscus Brokers SuperTrips, involving Southbroom, Margate and Riverside bowling clubs will commence in January 2024 and continue until November 2024.
The prizes will exceed a fantastic R50 000 sponsored by Hibiscus Brokers.
On the last Thursday of every month, 36 open teams will play, strength versus strength.
The format is three skins of six ends but with a twist – after each skin, members change position such that everyone will play lead, second and skip in the match.
Each club will host 12 teams every month; the monthly prize money is R1000 per green.
The last round will involve all 36 teams at Margate, when the overall winning team will receive R9000, the runners up R6000 and third R3000.
Southbroom BC president, Cleve Walker, said that the novel format will help with player development and should attract a strong field.
“Hibiscus Brokers have always been good sponsors of bowls at many clubs, and we are delighted that they have come aboard for the SuperTrips. Being able to offer really good prize money adds a new perspective to what is one of the most played sports in the country and we have already received more than 20 entries,” he said.
