The men’s final proved a very tight affair, with quality bowls from all four competitors. A strong finish from Francois Hanekom and Denis Paiva (White River) proved too much for Ben Enslin and Quentin Wilson (Nelspruit), winning the final by 23 shots to 18.

Sabie Bowling Club members, Alfred Mielacher and Thomas de Villiers, won third place by beating Joao Richards and Bertus le Roux (Nelspruit) 21-19.
The top three teams will compete in the Mpumalanga Pairs competition in eMalahleni on September 14
