Highveld teams take bronze in Mpumalanga Bowls Development Tournament
The players of the tournament were Jimmy Smith and Charl Christensen from Lowveld for the men, and Merle Joubert, Annette Stassen and Debbie Day are sharing the women’s trophy.
SECUNDA – Both the men and women’s teams from the Highveld District came third in the Mpumalanga Development Bowls Tournament that was hosted at the Sasol Secunda Bowls Club from 27 to 29 April.
According to Mr Lappies Labuschagne, club chairman, this was the first time in more than 12 years that this tournament was held in Secunda.
The club’s B bowling court has been upgraded and the club could therefore accommodate all the players and games for the three days.
The development tournament was contested between teams from the Highveld and included Secunda, Bethal and clubs on the eastern Highveld, Mpumalanga Central (Middelburg and Witbank), and the Lowveld.
Each team consisted of five players who have not yet received provincial colours.
The teams competed in single, double, triple and quadruple competitions.
The team from Central won the men’s division, with Lowveld in second place and Highveld third.
Lowveld came first in the women’s division, with Central in second place and Highveld in third place.
The players of the tournament were Jimmy Smith and Charl Christensen from Lowveld for the men, and Merle Joubert, Annette Stassen and Debbie Day shared the women’s trophy.
Bethal Bowling Club will officially reopen on 12 May after years of non-functioning.
