The first round of the women’s open singles was also played in very hot windy conditions. Elize Stapelberg beat Louise du Plessis 21-8, but the result was no reflection on the great bowls played. Tabs in was also played where members had the opportunity to sharpen their skills.

The Motprop sponsored 2-4-2 was played last weekend, on a cloudless day. The members who attended enjoyed the camaraderie and good sportsmanship. The second session went to Brian Osman and Nic Nel, with Chad Wilson and Kevin Olivier claiming first prize after a count out between Robert Mhlongo and George Nel.

Looking at this weekend the club will host the East Coast bowls 2-4-2 newbie pairs competition which is a great initiative for new bowlers with less than four years experience, with prizes to the value of R1 000 to be won.
