Over a hot weekend the members of Umgeni Waterfall Bowling Club participated in social bowls at the club, various league matches and also in the NIBA trips competition.
On Saturday, in the first round of the Ladies' League played at Creighton Bowling Club, the ladies had a good game but lost to Drakensberg South. The men's team playing in the Second League lost to Richmond. The men playing in the first league against Hilton won their match.
On Sunday 04 October, one men's and one ladies' team took part in the early rounds of the NIBA trips competition. There was some stiff competition but our members acquitted themselves well. Both the men's team and the ladies' team won all their games. The ladies go on to play in the semi-finals next Sunday afternoon while the men play in the quarter finals on Sunday morning. Congratulations to both teams for their achievements. We wish Colin Burden, Piet van Rensburg and Clark Logan GOOD BOWLING in the quarter finals. The ladies consisting of Bernice Burden, Rita Aitken and Alison Toms who go on to meet a team from Maritzburg West led by Marinda Opperman are also wished GOOD BOWLING.
