National bowlers descended on out fair city to battle it out and the winners were:
- Gold: Maggie van Zyl & Lydia Maritz from Western Province
- Silver: Shane Gobey & Peter Hufkie from Eastern Province
- Bronze shared: Jason Evans & Gerry Baker from Johannesburg Bowling Association tie with Bruno Belotti & Colin White from Northern Free State
