Lowveld bowls excel in Secunda

Both teams, ladies Henriette Pearson, Veronica Coertzen, Jeanette Richards and men side, Shawn J van Vuuren, Wayne J van Vuuren and Dawie van der Merwe was from Nelspruit Bowling Club.

It was two days of concentration, willpower and endurance that made the ladies win all of their games against Highveld and Central.  The wind was unbearable and very cold but that didn’t damper the bowler’s mood for bowls. Some players struggled to find the right line and weight while others couldn’t go wrong.

The format was to play to 15 ends except finals was played over 18 ends and the team that had the highest score on the last end was declared the winners of the game. All teams were divided into two sections.  Each team consisted off three player called trips.
