BOWLS BANTER
Port Alfred Bowling Club
There was a pleasant surprise last
Saturday when ladies’ club
captain Elzabe Rodrigues paid the
club a visit. Elzabe recently
underwent an operation to have a
lung removed.
It was really nice to see her
looking so well and healthy and
her visit certainly brightened up
the day. Good to see you up and
about Elzabe.
The Kekkel en Kraaisponsored
afternoon was held last
week with Linda, Martin and
Elaine winning the sponsored
ch i ck e n s .
Linda’s team finished on plus-
6 as did the team of Brian, Dix
and Jo-anne. This led to a countout
with Linda winning one more
end to win the prizes. Well done
to all.
This past Saturday saw only 10
brave members turning out due to
the terrible wind and cold. The
only female present was Jo-anne
and credit she deserves a medal.
The afternoon was to be
sponsored by Radue’s
Optometrists but due to the
freezing weather and poor
turnout, it was decided to carry
the sponsorship over to Tuesday
this week.
A fun afternoon of bowls,
followed by a soup evening is set
for September 24, a public
holiday. Players can either dress as
being very wealthy or very poor
and can play bowls in these
respective outfits. It should be fun.
Latest news from Eastern Areas
is that the men’s mini-districts
competition to be held in
Queenstown is to go ahead in
September. The ladies event was
earlier called off.
The club has forwarded the
names of Brian and Hein who are
available for selection. Let’s hold
thumbs.
Kowie Bowls Club
Two teams from the Kowie Bowls
Club took part in the Middleburg
Venison Festival over the
weekend. Teams from Velddrif,
Goodwood, Oudshoorn, Graaff-
Reinet, and the Midlands District
took part.
Winners on the weekend were
Stan Long’s team of Lennie Clark,
Denny Richardson and Jonty
Alexander who went through the
weekend unbeaten. The team of
Jackie and Megan Kriel, Michael
van der Sandt and Stephen
Minnaar finished third losing just
one match.
A very competitive weekend
was enjoyed by all 16 teams.

KGB RESULTS
Tuesday August 17: Chilly and damp, but calm
initially, saw 36 players enter the draw to test
themselves in an Alliance Stableford 2-scores-tocount
format with a Portuguese twist.
Tony Halse, James Lobban, John Muggeridge and
George Lake came home worthy winners on 85
points. Andy Manson, Brian Shirley, Andrew White
and John Crandon tied with Andy Stembridge, Arnie
Schultz, Jimmy van Rensburg and Heinz Czepluch in
second on 82 points.
Tom Tagg, Bryan Robinson, Mike Stadler and Paul
Fryer along with Matt Chadwick, Guy Cash, Peter
Sinclair and Jan Immelman tied on 71 points to
secure the Hamer en Sukkel.
Arnie Schultz and Andy Barnes both birdied the par
three 8th hole. James Lobban went one better to take
the double carryover 2-club pool for his covey with
his birdie on the par three 6th.
James Lobban shot a solid individual 70 nett and
Fanie Smit was a shade better with an individual 69
nett. Round of the morning belonged to John
Muggeridge with his well compiled 67 nett.
Friday August 24: The forecast of the arrival of a
cold front with a strong westerly wind and midmorning
precipitation saw a mere 22 players brave
enough to enter the draw to be drawn in two 3-balls
and four 4-balls to compete in a Stableford Alliance
2-scores-to-count format.
Maureen McGarvie, Mike Beaumont, Don Thomson
and Heinz Czepluch ran out winners on 80 points.
Finishing, marginally behind, in second position on
79 points were Leon Grobler, Bob Shaw, Peter Reed
and Derick van Harmelen.
Arnie Schultz, John Ralph, Mike Stadler and Paul
Fryer took a firm hand on the Hamer en Sukkel for
prize giving with a sorry 69 points.
Mike Beaumont and Heinz Czepluch both birdied
the par three 11th hole and being in the same covey
took the 2-club pool for their covey.
Heinz Czepluch shot a solid individual 70 nett, Jenny
Ralph improved on that with her individual 69 nett
and player of the day was Andy Manson with a
satisfying individual 68 nett.
