Rimuller, Pierre Breitenbach – the last two missing out on medals literally by measures. It has also to be remembered that the team was unseled by the tragic death of Elma Davis. The unflappable Nici Neal stepped in at the 11th hour and deservedly won a glorious gold medal in the pairs with Colleen Piketh, a feat reminiscent of when Pierre Breitenbach flew out to Glasgow to replace an injured Rudi Jacobs and went on to take a gold.

  • 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.

  • Co-Op Funeralcare Test Matches 2016 Scotland Win the David Bryant Trophy
    CO-OP FUNERALCARE TEST MATCHES 2016 MEN'S TEST MATCH - SCOTLAND bt ENGLAND 6-5 at New Earswick Indoor Bowls Club 20/21 October, 2016 DAY TWO - FRIDAY, 21 OCTOBER SCOTLAND WIN THE DAVID BRYANT TROPHY BUT ENGLAND MAKE THE SCORE RESPECTABLE Rob Paxton (bowling) and Stewart Anderson got the ball rolling with a fascinating singles clash Scotland had England on the back foot from the start of this Test Match. Winning both triples encounters got the Scots off to a dream start on Thursday morning, and when Paul Foster and Alex Marshall beat Mark Dawes and Jamie Chestney on a tiebreak in the first pairs clash, the writing was on the wall. However, two gritty pairs wins for England on Thursday afternoon meant that the host country players were hanging on by their fingertips - but they were certainly in with a chance on Day Two - Singles Day. Put simply, the Scots needed to win three out of six singles matches to take the David Bryant Trophy, while England had to pick up four wins. Consecutive wins for Stewart Anderson, Alex Marshall and Ronnie Duncan saw Scotland home with three matches still to play, so the large crowd at the New Earswick indoor bowls club in York settled down to watch three attractive exhibition matches. The pressure was off, but there was still some brilliant entertainment on display from some of the most talented bowlers in the world. Three consecutive wins for Mark Dawes, Jamie Walker and Mervyn King brought England to within one point of the winners at 6-5.
