SOUTHBROOM
The 2023 Lower South Coast 2-4-2 Mixed Pairs lawn bowls tournament was won by Banners Rest’s Pam and Brian Cole-Cook.
In the tightest finish for years, they edged out Westville Country Club’s Peter and Lyn Garrett on shot difference and were a mere half a point ahead of Banners Rest’s Amelia Pieterse and Gino Alilovic.
The tournament is played in nine rounds over five days at four venues – Southbroom, Munster, Port Edward and Banners Rest, each round consisting of three skins of four ends.
The highly popular tournament, which attracts 56 pairs from around the country, is convened by Banners Rest’s Janet Venter. Prize money exceeds R26 000.
Pam has had another successful season in the Kingfisher Bowling Association, having won the singles title as well as several other categories as part of Banners Rest teams.
She was deservedly and finally recognised as one of the country’s top bowlers when she was selected to play for South Africa in the Atlantic Rim Seniors Fours and Mixed Fours Events in Paphos, Cyprus which will take place this December.
