The club competition was an opportunity for the bowls club members to interact and compete against each other. Terri Hill, a winner of the semi-final’s pairs, said she was elated about the win. “I am relieved that we won, because it was touch and go. We were behind for a while and stuck on six points, but we finally got our groove back at the end and look forward to the next stage.”

Jean Lemmer, a winner of the men’s drawn pairs, added that he also looked forward to the next round. “Today’s competition was made up of different categories, such men’s, ladies, singles, triples, and the drawn pair, where a team is made up from choosing a random name. I am happy about the result and look forward to the next round.”
