Spokesperson for the club, David Parker, said member Leila Snyman reached the finals to play against her Sables colleague, Bridget Herselman, where this game proved to be a great display of the sport.
Many spectators said this was the best game of singles they have ever seen in years,' David commented.
He continued that Leila once again proved that she has an exceptional big-match temperament, where she kept her composure all the time, by playing some unbelievable shots.
'The game was played in good spirit and sportsmanship from both players, where Bridget won the match 21–18, where all the Sables members were great ambassadors for the game of bowls.'
President of the KBC, Andy Shelby, added that Leila is a great member who has shown that the younger generation can play the game at the highest level.
'The whole of KBC is proud of what she achieved. There is a feeling that she could become the KBC's first national player,' he believes.
David continued that KBC also had a team of four women who also did the club proud by reaching the last eight in the National Ladies Fours Tournament.
Maureen Love, Elysse Heine, Estelle Serfontein and Barbara Minaar reached the quarter finals.
They showed team spirit in a combination of winning. I congratulate all the ladies who excelled at nationals on flying the KBC flag proudly,' David concluded.
