Bowls veterans Bea Lamprecht and Ewald Vermeulen won last weekend’s TrenTyre Senior Pairs Competition.
Only players above the age of 50 were entitled to participate in the tournament, which was hosted at the TransNamib Bowls Club in the Namibian capital.
The second place went to the team of Babs van der Merwe and Moolman van Zyl, while Avril Kotze and her partner Horst Zimny had to settle for third.
Thanks to her strong performance throughout the weekend, Avril Kotze received the player of the tournament award.
Meanwhile the Windhoek league will be in action again this coming weekend with three teams from each Windhoek-based club allowed to participate at the Windhoek Country Club.
TransNamib Bowls Club currently sits in the driving seat on the overall standings and it will take a monumental effort from the second placed Eros Bowls Club to catch them.
Great bowls can be expected at this event, which marks the second league day of the season.
Furthermore the Namibian Bowls Association (NBA) has announced the national teams that will represent Namibia at the upcoming test series against South Africa, which is scheduled to take place from1 to 3 November.

Graham Snyman, Will Esterhuizen, Ewald Vermeulen, Jean Viljoen, Axel Krahenbuhl.
