Pool star to represent SA in Morocco
Margate's Bronwen Folly's star performance stood out at the National 8 Ball Pool Tournament which was held in Potchefstroom, North West Province a week ago.
Bronwen along with Jayden Robertson, Janine Minnaar, Judith van der Walt and Chantelle Jansen van Vuuren were selected from their local pool league to represent KwaZulu-Natal in the Ladies Division.
Due to her outstanding performance, Bronwen was selected to represent South Africa at the international tournament in Morocco in 2026.
She ended up in the last 16 of the singles event out of 169 women participating at this tournament.
Bronwen and her doubles partner, Jansen van Vuuren also from Margate, went as far as the quarter-finals in the doubles event. Bronwen also performed exceptionally well in the team event.
Bronwen started playing pool from the age three, and had to stand on crates in order to reach the table.
She maintained her passion for this sport and started playing at national level from 2001 up until 2018.
She attended the national tournament this year after a six-year break, where she managed to attain this great achievement.
The women play pool at The Players Pool Academy which started last year.
Dirk Steenkamp, the owner of The Carwash Pub in Margate, was kind enough to partner with the league allowing his venue to be used for their games.
There are currently 44 players playing in this premier league.
The seniors and open pool tournament will be coming up soon and it's hoped that more players from this league will accomplish more outstanding results.
The league applauds Bronwen on her achievement. She is an inspiration to many other players that can aspire to follow in her footsteps.
Should any companies or individuals wish to sponsor Bronwen, contact The Players Pool Academy's president, Riaan Fourie on 082 3191839 or email playersleague23@gmail.com.
