News Update 9 WWW.WORLDBOWLS2016.C OM 8th December 2016 Daily Update ‘Blackjacks’ stepping up to the Contact Details plate in Christchurch New Zealand’s heroic Blackjacks lawn bowls team has positioned Bill Fowlie itself for a shot at three gold medals at the world championships Ph: +64 3 358 4617 in Christchurch this weekend. Mob: +64 22 697 3560 Email: [email protected] After qualifying in four disciplines -women’s singles and fours along with men’s pairs and triples - last week, the 10-player team had to be content with a bronze medal in each. Certainly an achievement to be proud of, but the guys and gals in black are Ian Watson hoping to blend some silver and gold into the mix by next Sunday Ph: +64 21 666 196 evening. Email: [email protected] The local men’s fours combination of Ali Forsyth, Blake Signal, Mike Kernaghan and Mike Nagy, has been a revelation, going through their nine qualifying rounds undefeated, despite some spirited retaliation from the mighty Scottish, South African and Welsh teams. The guys answered every question asked of them, fed out a few to their own, and completed the qualification phase a tidy 153-shots up. Good thanks! Likewise, the enigmatic Shannon McIlroy has been in red hot form, with his only blemish over three days of singles qualifying being a loss to Norfolk Island’s Ryan Dixon in Round 5. However, as if to prove it merely an aberration, McIlroy went out an hour later and surgically dismembered the great South African Gerry Baker 21-1. WWW.WORLDBOWLS2016.C OM WORLD BOWLS 2016 MEDIA RELEASE ‘Blackjacks’ stepping up to the plate in Christchurch And of course there’s world No.1 Jo Edwards and her new sidekick Angela Boyd, who powered their way into the semi finals of the women’s pairs competition. A last round loss to England’s Sophie Tolchard and Ellen Falkner was the sole indiscretion in a flawless exhibition of team bowls by the two Blackjacks. Scotland and Australia will have teams in all four categories this weekend, while England, Malaysia, Wales and NZ have three, with Ireland, USA, Canada and South Africa in one apiece.

    your source for The Investment Specialists in the worldwide bowling information facebook.com/BowlsSouthAfrica news ® ISSUE 57 - DEC ‘16/JAN ‘17 ELMA,SUSAN,SYLVIA Internaonally, South Africa’s Proteas have shown to the fore in the last few years. True, the men have not won a gold medal at the event since the 1976 whitewash of the world at Zoo Lake, but SA’s women have twice won the event and generally shine. This me, however, for some unfathomable reason, the men struggled throughout; the women threatened to do well in all events, but again, disappoinngly faded, leaving only the triples, who won bronze, to play near to potenal. This does not in any way suggest the Proteas played badly. Far from it, they are the best we have, deserving their places. But those armchair crics shoung for heads to roll do not see it that way (rugby, soccer, swimming, golf are treated much the same) and express the country’s insaable demand for success. Never mind the clichés and the “wise” nodding heads, other naons are allowed to play well; in bowls, if club players think clearly, they know a rub, a wick, a minute measure can change the nature of a game in a heartbeat; few codes see acute score change as can occur in a single head of bowls. In fairness, however, we did let ourselves BRONZE BEAUTIES: The South African bowls down at certain mes – but that is sport. Protea women’s triples side won bronze - a superb effort.

  • Gold and Silver for Classy Proteas
    Gold and silver for classy Proteas By Alan Simmonds, Media Officer, Bowls SA Gold in the men’s trips and silver in the women’s fours went to South Africa’s Proteas at Cardiff’s Penylan club, with Israel, England, Wales also going gold in the Atlantic Championships. Yesterday was the climax of the event’s first week – the past six days of the championships featured 25 countries from the European, African and South American theatres at four host clubs around the Welsh capital. The reverse of this week’s programme of men’s pairs and triples along with women’s singles and fours gets under way today. In the blue riband women’s singles gold medal match it was experienced Ruti Gilor from Israel who prevailed over pocket-sized Guernsey dynamo Lucy Beere, winning 21-15 after 24 ends. The first half of the 21 shots-up final was a dour affair with scores peeled at 11-apiece after 14 ends. However, the excitement level lifted over the following 10 when the 64-year-old Israeli star moved up a gear to claim the points on eight ends adding 14 shots to four as she powered to victory. England’s Jamie Walker and Steve Mitchinson achieved a great result at Penylan when they clinched the men’s pairs gold medal, beating Scottish superstars Alex Marshall and Paul Foster in their 18-end final. Earlier today the much-awaited men’s triples final saw a rejuvenated South African trio, under the astute guidance of hard man Billy Radloff, topple Scotland’s irrepressible Commonwealth Games champions Ronnie Duncan, Derek Oliver and Darren Burnett.

  • Glorious Gold for Colleen/Nici and Team
    Glorious gold for Colleen/Nici and team By Alan Simmonds, Media Officer, Bowls South Africa Superb Protea lawn bowlers Colleen Piketh (Eden) and Nici Neal (Sables) retained their title and a gold medal with a scintillating victory in the women’s pairs at the Atlantic Championship finals in Cardiff, Wales. The women’s quintet of Piketh, Neal, Esmé Kruger (Gauteng North, Jacqui Janse van Rensburg Johannesburg BA), Anneke Snyman (Boland) won the trophy for best overall. Added to yesterday’s gold the women won silver in the fours, bronze in the triples and fourth place in the singles … outstanding. Scotland’s men took the overall gold medal. The seasoned pairs combination outclassed a plucky Guernsey duo of Rose Ogier and Lucy Beere winning on the 16th end 17-4 after not conceding a shot for the first 12 ends. Playing at HQ, Penylan, the green and gold duo were in top form, something they had shown throughout the gruelling qualifying rounds and the quarter and semi-finals. They repeated their efforts from the last Atlantic event in Cyprus. But it was England who then took centre-stage. Their action man Jamie Walker won a second gold of the championships – added to last week’s pairs with Steve Mitchinson – when he outgunned Scotland’s Darren Burnett to win the blue ribbon singles in a repeat of his 2015 success in Cyprus. The English women began the rush when their triples team coasted to victory in the morning, beating a gallant Scotland trio by 10 shots. England was imperious when they powered to victory in the women’s triples final, winning 23-13.
