Port Natal Bowls bowlers fly the flag in Gqeberha
The Mercury
|May 22, 2025
THE Bowls South Africa Men’s Nationals are well underway in Gqeberha, and after intense sectional play and opening knockout rounds in the pairs, open singles and veteran singles, the Port Natal Bowls contingent are delivering impressive results and proving their mettle against the best bowlers in the country.
Of the 17 PNB pairs entries, two teams are still in contention for national honours.
Wayne Roberts and John Peacock from Hillcrest Bowling Club have stormed through to the last 16.
Their PNB counterparts, Ruuan Victor and Keegan Bauristhene (entered as Amanzimtoti BC), face a must-win clash against Mike Underwood and Logan Subramony of Comrades BC (Border Bowls).
Should Victor and Bauristhene prevail, they'll be set up for a PNB showdown against Roberts and Peacock on Friday in a battle to progress to the quarter-final.
In the open singles, 14 PNB bowlers endured a gruelling day of sectional matches and early playoff rounds this past Monday.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa
THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
