The Bowls South Africa Masters, widely regarded as the country\u2019s premier singles lawn bowls championship, once again delivered bowls of the highest calibre when the tournament was staged at Wingate Park Bowling Club in Pretoria from 6 to 8 February. The Masters is an invitation-only event, reserved for the nation\u2019s elite bowlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invitations are extended by the Bowls SA selection committee, taking into account players\u2019 performances in singles and pairs competitions over a three-year period. Simply receiving an invitation is regarded as one of the highest honours in South African bowls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competition takes place across six divisions. U30 men and women, open men and women, and veteran men and women for players over the age of 60. Wingate Park, which boasts five immaculate greens, has become the established home of the Masters in recent years. Only 16 players compete in each open division, while 12 players qualify in each of the U30 and veteran categories, making competition fierce from the first bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced exceptional forms in sectional play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Among the regular names at the Masters is Northern Cape star Charles Peter \u201cCP\u201d Mathewson, whose record over the past decade has made him one of the country\u2019s most consistent singles competitors. Mathewson previously competed in the U25 Masters, later restructured as the U30 division, before becoming a fixture in the open event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His credentials speak for themselves: multiple Northern Cape Open Singles titles, Masters titles, Junior Masters victories, and success in the Quadrangular Singles, contested between champions from Northern Cape, Southern Free State, Northern Free State and North West. Internationally, he has also represented South Africa as a Protea player at events including the Multi Nations tournament in Australia and the African States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his pedigree, Masters success had previously proved elusive, with a silver medal in the U30 division and bronze in the open division among his best finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, competing in the open division, Mathewson produced exceptional form in sectional play, winning six of his seven matches against the country\u2019s best singles players. His only defeat came in a narrow 21\u201320 loss to last year\u2019s silver medallist Wayne Rittmuller. By the end of the opening day, many observers began to tip Mathewson as the tournament\u2019s dark horse. Throughout sectional play, he combined accurate drawing with the devastating driving shot that has become his trademark, while commentators noted the calm and maturity he displayed under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packed crown lined banks for final<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Topping his section earned Mathewson a place in the final against local favourite Cecil Bornmann of Wingate Park. Bornmann had secured his spot in the Open division by winning last year\u2019s U30 title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A packed crowd lined the banks for the final, with the majority backing the home-club player. Chants of support for Bowls Gauteng North echoed across the greens as the match began, creating a challenging atmosphere for the visiting Mathewson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfazed, he quickly settled into rhythm, applying pressure with precise drawing and repeatedly escaping difficult positions with well-timed drives. He surged into a commanding 16\u20138 lead, appearing to have the match firmly under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bornmann, however, fought back strongly, narrowing the gap to 16\u201314 and reigniting the home support. Under mounting pressure, Mathewson remained composed, regaining momentum and ultimately sealing a 21\u201315 victory to claim the 2026 Bowls South Africa Men\u2019s Open Masters title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathewson to represent South Africa in Australia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The celebrations did not end there. During the prize-giving ceremony, it was also announced that Mathewson would represent South Africa later this year at the World Bowls Indoor Championships in Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulatory messages poured in from across the country, particularly from his home district in the Northern Cape. Speaking after the final, Mathewson revealed he had promised his daughter he would bring home a big trophy, a promise he proudly fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At just 30 years old, Mathewson\u2019s career still holds many chapters to be written. For now, however, the Northern Cape bowls fraternity can celebrate one of its finest sporting achievements, as one of its own stands atop South African bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super proud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Braam van der Westhuizen, president of Northern Cape Bowls<\/a>, says the province’s bowls fraternity is super proud of Mathewson of the Beaconsfield Club in Kimberley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Once again, CP has shown that the countryside does not have to be inferior to any major unions,” Van der Westhuizen comments. In a month it will be the SA Interdistrict competitions again where six teams from the Northern Cape will play at different locations in the country. What makes it so incredible is that due to a lack of funds, players have to pay themselves and then still come out successful, just think how the Northern Cape will flourish with funds?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
