The second round of the NIBA League was played on Saturday. The Umgeni Waterfall ladies played at Hilton where they won on both rinks. Both men's teams had home games. The second league team played and beat Collegians; the third league team played Howick and were defeated by them.
On Sunday one men's team skipped by Colin Burden and one ladies' team skipped by Bernice Burden played in the NIBA Open Trips semi-finals at Maritzburg Bowling Club. Both teams put up a good fight but lost their games to the Maritzburg team skipped by Kevin Williams and the West team skipped by Marinda Opperman. We wish our respective opponents 'Good Bowling' in the finals next week.
