Pirates Bowls Club members came out in numbers on June 28 for the club’s shantjies semi-finals, a social bowls competition.

On the day, bowlers turned out in their red and blue club T–shirts, focusing on the jack and holding their stance on the mats as they gave their best in the semi–finals.

Kibi Ramatsuma, who was in his second year of bowling, said the friendly competition was tough but fun.

“Today’s competition was difficult because I played against a man who was last year’s champion. I did my best, although I ended up losing to my partner.”
