With provincial pride and national qualification on the line, spectators were treated to bowls of the highest standard throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The semi-finals produced two standout performances as the experienced pairing of Andries van der Walt and Elmarie Bredenkamp booked their place in the championship decider alongside the formidable mother-and-son duo of Annelie and CP Mathewson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mathewsons have built a reputation over recent seasons for their ability to absorb pressure in major finals before shifting through the gears at crucial moments and pulling away from their opponents. Time and again they have demonstrated why they are regarded as one of the most accomplished combinations in Northern Cape bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" data-attachment-id=\"301627\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/mathewsons-reclaim-bowls-mixed-pairs-crown-with-dominant-display\/ncbowls_43631\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NCBowls_43631.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,808\" 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=\"NCBowls_43631\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Ren\u00e9 van Niekerk (competition secretary), Annelie and CP Mathewson (winners) and Braam van der Westhuizen (president Northern Cape Bowls).

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
