Night bowls At Avion draw to an end

Grant George, Allan Pike and André du Toit won the night bowls league at at Avion Park Bowling Club.

Over the past five weeks, bowlers and non-bowlers from around Ekurhuleni participated in the league.

Thirty-six players in teams of four, played “cricket night bowls” which entails: one end up, to be bowled towards a scoring mat and one end down, towards cricket wickets.

The object of this game is three-folded: get as many wickets as possible to deduct it from the opposition’s score; gather as many points on the drawing mat for your own team and have fun.

It started at around 6pm on a Thursday evening and ended at about 9pm with a lovely cooked supper.

Any people interest in joining the next league, can call Cobus Galloway on 083 266 7290 or Judy van den Heever on 061 230 1651.
