Glory beckons for Selebi-Phikwe bowls club

The hosts are within reach of a sixth crown in nine years. Botsogo Health Plan is the main sponsor of the tournament with a total sum of P20 000. The tournament is one of the major ones in the bowling calendar and would be used to determine the winner of the Botswana Bowling Association (BBA) major trophy known as Haskins Trophy.

The defending champions, Selebi-Phikwe, have won the Botsogo trophy five times out of a possible eight, followed by Francistown, which won it twice while the other honour went to Jwaneng. Gaborone and Orapa are expected to perform better in the tournament after spending eight years without clinching the trophy.
