The scores were locked at 14-all with one end remaining, and it seemed as though Natal Inland had positioned themselves for victory. Lead Kholwani Khanyile opened the head with a front toucher and a well-placed back bowl, supported by precise positional play from Calsey Hollis and Caleb Jansen van Rensburg. Many in the crowd believed the gold medal was theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But BGN\u2019s Carmen Fourie turned the game with a superb attacking shot that opened up the jack, creating a chance for skip Cecil Bornman. Natal Inland\u2019s skip, Sean Lightfoot, who had shone throughout the tournament, narrowly missed his line on a crucial delivery and sliced the jack closer to a BGN bowl. Bornman seized the moment, drawing two telling bowls that forced the match into a measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"951\" height=\"881\" data-attachment-id=\"270637\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/gauteng-north-claim-historic-victory-at-bsa-u35-inter-districts-in-kimberley\/3510ba77-87cb-412e-9cea-b56074b93fb3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3510ba77-87cb-412e-9cea-b56074b93fb3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"951,881\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bowls South Africa U35\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Anesu Ziramba, Lionyl-Jon Page, Carmen Fourie en Cecil Bornman.

The result sparked scenes of jubilation as Bornman, Fourie, Anesu Ziramba, and Lionyl-Jon Page celebrated an unforgettable victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natal Inland settled for a well-deserved silver medal, while Johannesburg Bowls Association and Sables Bowling Association shared bronze after losing out in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The host province,<a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/dramatic-finals-at-northern-cape-bowls-fours-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Northern Cape Bowls<\/a>, entered four teams and delivered a strong showing. Both the A and B teams narrowly missed semi-final qualification, finishing second in their respective pools of 11 teams. Skips Charles-Peter Mathewson and LeRoux Fourie described it as a \u201cbitter pill to swallow\u201d but praised their teammates for their efforts. \u201cIt was an honour to compete on home soil and to feel the support from the local crowd,\u201d Mathewson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Kimberley, the tournament was a proud moment. Known as the Diamond City and steeped in sporting heritage, it once again proved to be a fitting stage for a national competition. With world-class bowls, unforgettable drama, and passionate local support, the first-ever U35 tournament of its kinds will long be remembered as a milestone in South African bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impressed-with-talent\">Impressed with talent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 44 teams, with four members each, competed in this inaugural event under the expanded U35 age limit, previously a U30 competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyla Young, vice-president of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlssa.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bowls South Africa<\/a>, who attended the event, said the U35 competition replaces the U30 competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young was impressed with the talent showcased on the greens, commenting that these players are the future of bowls. She said many of these players participated in the sport of bowls since they were in the U15 category. An aim of Bowls South Africa is to increase youth participation and eventually have bowls recognised as a formal school sport at provincial and national levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The inaugural U35 Inter-Districts Tournament saw Bowls Gauteng North crowned champions after a dramatic final against Natal

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms.
