Johnson and Steele take picture-perfect bowls honours

A huge thank you to Newcastle Bowling Club who entered a total of eight teams. The day was played in wonderful spirit with many games very close and the scoring very tight.

The Dundee Bowling Club on Saturday hosted the annual Slabbert/Arndt Pairs Tournament and what a phenomenally well supported and organised day it was and all for a good cause too – cancer awareness as well as remembering those that have lost their fight to the disease. A total of 52 bowlers, some as young as nine-years-old, novices and seasoned bowlers took to the well-prepared greens on a picture-perfect winter’s morning to do battle.
