At the same gathering, the National League results were revealed as the league, which started in February this year, was played on a complete round robin basis, with home and away matches. Since there were six clubs participating, each club played ten games with six points awarded for a win and three for a draw. The last round was played in Windhoek on Saturday, with all clubs participating, including the pair of coastal club entrants, Rossmund and Namib Park. Clubs are allowed to enter a men’s team, ladies’ team and one or two triples teams, depending on the number of bowlers available. Sadly, Tsumeb Bowling Club did not enter the league, while Windhoek Bowling Club was unable to field a men’s team, which rendered them ineligible for the Best Overall results. In the men’s division, Transnamib Bowling Club came out on top with 33 points, with Rossmund in second place on 24 points. In the Ladies’ Division, Windhoek Bowling Club was victorious with 48 points. Runners-up were Eros Bowling Club on 36 points. Eros Bowling Club won both the Triples divisions, Division 1 with 46 points and Division 2 with 48 points. Runners-up in these divisions were Namib Park (35 points) and Rossmund (45 points) respectively.
