🏆 NIBA Open Singles Championship 2026 – Finals Day 🏆
What a spectacular conclusion to the NIBA Open Singles Championship, with Finals Day hosted at Maritzburg Bowling Club on a stunning winter’s day that provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable finish.
From the Quarter Finals through to the Semi Finals and ultimately the Finals, spectators were treated to bowls of the highest quality. Precision, composure and determination were on full display as players battled for championship honours.
The journey began with an incredible 135 players, all chasing the same dream, and after a tournament filled with passion and competition, only 4 players remained to claim the prizes.
Along the way, there were many outstanding performances and exciting new talents emerged, giving selectors plenty to smile about and offering an encouraging glimpse into the future of Natal Inland Bowls.
A huge congratulations to:
🥇 Keith Harcimbe (Maritzburg BC) – Winner of the 2026 NIBA Men’s Open Singles Championship
🥇 Sandra Smith (Maritzburg West) – Winner of the Women’s Open Singles Championship
Congratulations also to the deserving runners-up:
🥈 Bradley Robinson (Lynwood BC)
🥈 Charmaine Lombard (Collegians BC)
A sincere thank you goes to Kevin Williams and the entire Maritzburg team for hosting and sponsoring a fantastic tournament and ensuring the event was a great success.
Bowls continues to showcase not only skill and competition, but also the camaraderie and spirit that make the game so special.
