“This is due to the hard work of the KBC coaching group, organised and ably led by Andy Selby together with Pieter de Beer, Sean Letley, and Joey van Rensburg. They have been doing a great job in coaching new bowlers, club members and seasoned players.”
KBC will also host the forthcoming Gauteng Open Tournament which according to David is considered a huge honour.
This is a feather in the cap for KBC,” said Trevor.
“I am confident that the club will do everything to ensure that all goes well. To all you sport lovers, come to the KBC on weekends during July to watch bowlers play in the biggest bowls tournament in Gauteng and experience the great KBC spirit that makes us the club we are.”
