GALLERY and VIDEO: Let’s go bowling

The incredible spectacle of the Central Gauteng Singles Tournament at Northcliff Corner Shopping Centre left spectators in awe.

Tenpin bowling for many people may just be a fun social event to enjoy with the family or friends, however, the Central Gauteng Tenpin Bowling Association (CGTBA) showed how much science, skill and precision it truly takes.

President of the association Allan Kewely said, “We love to show people how much fun bowling can be. The members here are both professionals and amateurs and you can really see how seriously they take this exciting sport. One of our bowlers bowls at speeds of 45km/h.”

The tournament consisted of a multi-division, a closed division, and a singles division. Closed tournaments are compulsory to CG10pin criterium, if a member wishes to be considered for full colours.

“It’s honestly such a great sport. Everyone here is like a family and has so much fun every time we come together. Anyone can play tenpin bowling – we are an organisation that provides a platform to grow and develop future, passionate bowlers,” said vice president Kevin Craig.
