Camaraderie, Competition, Challenge
Wednesday, 29 June dawned and we, the bowlers of Umgeni Waterfall, prepared to meet the bowlers of Howick Bowling Club on our home grounds. The weather may have been a bit cool but the atmosphere was warm. Sixty-four bowlers met on eight rinks and things heated up once the inter-club match began. Some players were so keen to get on the greens that they didn’t wait to hear the rules of the match! This led to a number of queries and a little confusion on some rinks. Despite this, there was fun, friendly rivalry and a lot of banter on the greens and the afternoon progressed well.
Tea break offered a brief respite and time to chat while enjoying the tea and eats provided by our members.
At the end of the day, our opponents went home happy as the victors, able once more to display the trophy in their clubhouse. Well done Howick and well bowled members of both clubs. We look forward to next year’s return match.
Our annual match against Hilton Bowling Club will take place on the morning of Friday, 29 July.
