Alan Simmonds Media Officer Bowls South Africa ENTRIES DOWN ALL ROUND BUT There are good years and there are bad years – even for major bowls tournament. This year the Warwick Wealth/Bowls South Africa Women’s Na onal Bowls Championships and its simultaneously run Men’s event, 1 400km away, went without more than a few hiccups. Only major difference was it rained on the boys BGN AND WP in Johannesburg, whereas the sun scorched the girls in Cape Town. MAKE MERRY AT NATIONALS Strange, in fact, since at this me of the year it should have been the other way about.
The Western Cape is in the grip of a major drought; not more than four week’s potable water remains in the dams; all incanta ons, spells, rain dances and genuine prayers desperately required ASAP.
I covered the women’s tournament in Cape Town, so that event will be given major coverage. Most notable fact about both tournaments was another drop in a endance from last year; to be truthful entries were almost in the woeful bracket.
I remember playing in the men’s na onals in Pretoria in the late 1980s when 52 sec ons of 11 teams - more than 2 500 players – competed the fours alone over two weeks. From May 13- 21 this me only 22 sec ons of six teams – li le more than 500 players spent one week to determine their champions. The women’s event was blighted even more with just 10 sec ons of six sides - reduced further by late withdrawals - unbelievable.
It is a tale of a ri on to have marred a sport in which South Africa holds its own against the world’s best. Fortunately, Bowls South Africa, realising the impact on the code from a tumbling economy, deaths, security reasons and costs have interven ons in place and the downwards membership spiral has been stemmed. But entry levels to the most popular annual event must be worrying.
I would not be surprised if when the hierarchy is renewed and refreshed a er August’s AGM, a complete re-vamp of na onal events, their formats and details is not implemented.

Says Kallie Haupt, president of Bowls South Africa, whose term of office ends a er a competent, incumbency:
“As usual it was top class bowling, this me from unexpected sources, but it was disappoin ng for entries to be so sparse. While I am pleased with membership trends, nevertheless we must devise ways to a ract players to the na onal tournaments. Travel costs, me, leave taken and accommoda on expenses must be measured carefully against the entertainment factor.

The thrilling Esmé Haley did not play, neither did the top Sables ladies such as Proteas Susan Nel, Rika Lynn, didn’t see Tracy-Lee Botha, nor the Boland whizz kids such as Anneke Snyman and several promising younger players. Perhaps Bowls SA might consider re-scheduling na onal events to, where possible, coincide with school and university holidays to allow those keen enough to play and in turn if they Wilson Malobolo and skip Protea Morgan are from a bowl-playing family thereby induce Muvhango (The Nest, KZN) Winners of the Men’s na onal singles champion more to enter? mens pairs Wayne Ri muller (Stella Park BC, Port Natal) The rules make it clear that a match unable to be finished for any reason must be completed on the same rink at another appropriate opportunity. What on earth were the powers that be thinking about? Sport should be fairly contested and not be subjected to the vagaries of officials seeking to complete a draw by any means.
