Mandy nabs (most of) the silverware at Umkomaas BC

The women have vowed revenge next year.

OUR annual Adam and Eve competition was played last Saturday – this is a much-anticipated clash between the women and the men, with both groups determined to be the winners. The enthusiastic bowlers headed to the greens and in spite of the heat, kept their spirits up with friendly banter. As well as the women played, they were just not equal to the skill of the men, who just managed the win. Congratulations, guys. We will get you next year!

Mandy Schaaij, who swept the board, with a total of five trophies.

After drinks and snacks, the prize-giving took place. We stand in awe of Mandy Schaaij, who won three singles and two pairs trophies of the six competitions she entered.
