Call for SA bowls tour Australia urged by Gordon Bruderlin
In Sydney a leading Australian bowler Gordon Bruderlin will urge the Australian Bowls Council to invite South African and Rhodesian teams to play in Australia. Bruderlin led a 33 member Australian bowler group on a two week visit to Rhodesia and South Africa, seeking goodwill teams to visit every two years. He notes Australian visits dominate South African press and cites government sanctions as a barrier. A South African women’s bowls team plans to contest the world championships in New Zealand later this year, per Mrs Doreen Needham.
