By

The Spec-Savers PRO 10 Pairs bowls tournament has become a National tournament as of this year

This new format of the game has become a very popular tournament throughout the country as it is very different to the normal game of bowls.

Eastern Province will be hosting this inaugural event over the weekend of 13 and 14 September and play will take place at the Mill Park and Park Drive Bowling Clubs.

A total of 80 players representing 20 districts in 2 pairs teams per district will be bowling it out for the title.

Some of the prominent bowlers are:

  • Francois Koen & Bernardus VD Spuy – Previous National Champions
  • Athol Holtz – Previous National Champion
  • Billy Radloff – Current Protea Bowler And Previous National Champion
  • Japie Combrink – Previous National Champion
