For the second year running, Marietjie van den Bergh and Will Esterhuizen won the ladies and men’s national premier singles tourneys, respectively.
By winning the challenge, the pair gained the right to represent Namibia the country at next year’s prestigious World Champion of Champions in Christchurch, New Zealand.
A 28 member (men) and 19 member (women) teams took part in the competition that saw the men playing at the Windhoek Country Club bowling greens while the ladies battled it out at Eros Bowling Club.
