2025 NIBA U25 JUNIOR SINGLES TOURNAMENT: Saturday 29th November all day starting at 8.30am at Lynwood Club. We are thrilled at the prospect of welcoming our talented young bowlers to the NIBA U25 Junior Singles 2025! This year’s field is one of the strongest and most exciting we’ve seen, and we can’t wait to watch the action unfold. 🔹 Last year’s Top 4 — Kholwani Khanyile, Garret Reynders, Fanie Bester (Jnr), and Jared Nel have been pre-drawn into their sections as per the Conditions of Play. 🔹 The remaing 8 players will be on an open draw basis taking place at 8.15am. This year we welcome some exciting new and returning talent: Liam Janse van Rensburg – this year’s NIBA Novice Champion who has been playing for less than 9 months making his U25 debut. Calsey Hollis – returning and fresh off her Bowls South Africa Junior Masters selection. Big things expected from her! Caleb Janse van Rensburg – back from the USA; the 3-time BSA U30 Interdistrict Silver Medalist is ready to make his mark again and test his skills against his peers. Emily Nortje – not seen much on the NIBA circuit this year, but definitely a potential wild card. Brandon Nel, Dennis Krebser, Danielle van Staden and Taylor Williams - all aiming to place higher than last year and push for a Top 4 finish. 🔸 Tournament Format Singles set play. The event is played in two sections of six with each player competing against every other player in their section. 4 bowls, 2 sets of 7 ends. If tied at one set each, a 3-end tie-break decides the match (based on ends won and not shots). Section winners will face the second-place finishers from the opposite section in the semi-finals. Semi-final winners will contest Gold & Silver, and the losers will play off for 3rd & 4th. ⭐ A huge thank you to Lynwood Bowling Club - Pmb for hosting this year’s championship and for getting the A green ready. ⭐ An enormous thank you to all our markers who have generously offered their time and expertise. We appreciate you! We’re in for a fantastic day of top-quality junior bowls. Good bowling to all and we can’t wait for the games to begin! If you're not doing anything pop across and watch, you will not be sorry! A sincere thank you to our generous sponsors for supporting junior development and helping make this tournament possible. 🙏 Sponsors: Salt of the Earth Health & Water Grey Matters Marketing & Communications Tara Van Rensburg Wealth Navigator Gerry Van Rensburg Bargain Basket Pmb Pick n Pay, Athlone Circle aQuellé ViV aQuellé
