Breaking local news in Boksburg
Deon van der Vyver capped off a great showing by SA with an incredible gold medal-winning performance in the B8 men’s final on the last day of the International Bowls for the Disabled Championships at the Delville Bowling Club on May 31.
“I’m ecstatic. I’ve fallen short in the last three tournaments. In the last world champs, I earned a bronze and a silver before that. To cap it off with a gold is great stuff for SA. I’m super proud. All the hard work has paid off,” he said. Evans and Bokja were locked in a game of cat and mouse in the early stages of their B7 women’s final, and both fought relentlessly for the gold. But Evans’ wheels came off late in the match when she struggled with her length and accuracy, eventually losing 21-15.
“We’ve done well. It can only be accredited to the passion and dedication the players put in to show that disability doesn’t mean inability,” he said.
