The R10,000 draw organised between Rhumbelow Shellhole, Stella Park Bowling Club and Durban Wanderers Bowling Club was drawn earlier in the month. There are only 300 tickets sold and the winning ticket number 142, was sold to fellow Wanderer, Tommy Simpkins. It is Wanderers’ turn to host the next draw before Christmas this year, so anyone interested in a R100 ticket should call Jeff on 082-808-7793 to avoid disappointment.
The next round of the Port Natal pairs was delayed on Saturday due to the rain, but it continued on Sunday to see Richard and Robin, and Steve and Graham progress into the next rounds. Well done guys.
Shaun and Wonki put up a great fight as well, but unfortunately lost their game narrowly.

The lotto was also a carry-over of R1,180 with the winning numbers of 1-7-9.
The weekly joker draw saw another consolation winner, with Jeff Cronje claiming the R50. The potential jackpot prize is now around R3,700. This week’s draw will however be postponed due to the club’s commitments to the annual Umhlali and Kokstad tournaments.
