The KZNCB under-35 team participated in the South African U-35 Inter District competition in Welkom last week with Newcastle’s Brandon Delport, a valued team member.

After being in contention for most of the tournament, they finished a creditable 4th place in their section and 13th out of the 39 teams competing.

On the local front, the Newcastle Bowling Club hosted a tabs-in competition on Heritage Day, which was won by Trevor Douthwaite and John Bain.
