GRAAFF-REINET BOWLING NEWS - The Graaff-Reinet Bowling Club Open Singles last weekend was a closely contested, exciting event.
The men's section attracted 11 entries, so the games were played in two sections, and the winner of Section A played the winner of Section B in the final.
In Section B both Niel Colyn and Wally Koetaan lay very close after Round 4. Koetaan achieved 8 game points plus 41 shot profit while Colyn reached 8 game points and 38 shot profit.
These two players had to contest the winning position in Round 5 with Colyn winning the section after a very close game. Colyn proceeded to the final to play against the extremely convincing Shawn West, outright winner of Section A having won all his games in the section with a final score of 8 game points and 38 shot profit. West also took top honours in the final with 21 points against Colyn's 19.

With four entries in the ladies section, all games were played on a Round Robin basis. Charlene Colyn was the winner and Riana du Toit the runner-up.
The next event on the Graaff-Reinet bowling calendar is the Club Chosen Pairs, Ladies and Men's, this coming weekend on 6 and 7 February.
