Madalas crowned champions in Super Ten Tournament

The Super Ten Tournament came to life once again at Discovery Bowling Club, bringing together senior men from different districts all over Gauteng for a great day of bowls and camaraderie.

Hosted by senior Sables men, the three-day tournament saw great players from the Madalas, also known as the Johannesburg Bowling Association, Sedibeng, Bowls Gauteng North (BGN), Lowveld (Mpumalanga), and Ekhurhuleni battle it out on the greens for the trophy and overall cash prize.

By the second day of the tournament, June 4, the Madalas were topping the scoreboard, followed closely by the Sables, and Sedibeng, alongside BGN, were in a heated, nail-biting battle for third place.

However, after the tournament drew to a close on June 5, the final standings saw Madalas emerge victorious, claiming the top spot and the coveted cash prize and trophy with 35 points. BGN made a strong move with 30 points to secure second place, while Sables took third with an impressive 22 points.

According to David Parker, a member of the Sables seniors committee, this year marks 22 years since the birth of this tournament.

David says it is called the super ten because all ten players from each district are on the greens at the same time, either playing singles, pairs, tips or fours.

“This is a competitive tournament played in a friendly manner, and the aim is to build camaraderie and good team spirit.

“The number of bowlers here also indicates that senior bowls is advancing. Congratulations to all winners,” said David.
