NBA announces team for Commonwealth Games

Home Archived NBA announces team for Commonwealth Games

WINDHOEK – The Namibia Bowling Association (NBA) has officially announced the team members to represent Namibia at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland in July.

The games will run from July 23 to August 3rd. 

The woman’s team was selected during the NBA’s test-match series in November last year, while the men’s team had to undergo a rigorous training camp in February. Both teams will participate in all four bowling events in Scotland, namely the singles, doubles, triples and fours events.

The national teams have already started preparing for the games, as their members were part of an extended training squad that was in action over the last few months already. Under the guidance of Sandy Joubert, the team will further increase their training with specialized skill training, fitness conditioning and mental preparation. 

The ongoing National League and the upcoming weeklong National Championships will provide an excellent platform for the national players to get critical match practice.

Meanwhile, the NBA has also selected two junior players that will travel to Australia to participate in the World Junior Championships scheduled for November10-16 this year. The youngsters are Waylon Wentzel and Mandie Steenkamp. The pair will compete in the singles events in the male and female categories respectively.

The selected Commonwealth Games team is as follows: Bea Lamprecht, Will Esterhuizen, Sheena du Toit, Douw Calitz, Diana Viljoen, Ewald Vermeulen, Lesley Vermeulen, Steven Peake, Anjuleen Viljoen and Piet Appollis. Sandy Joubert will double up as coach and team manager and will be assisted by Avril Kotze and Jean Joubert.
