Hong Kong—The Hong Kong International Bowls Classic officially kicked-off with the qualification matches for the singles last Saturday, August 4, when more than 200 local bowlers fought for the privilege to play against some of the finest bowlers in the world.
A total of 64 players from each gender will play in the main draw of the Classic singles competition on November 10-11 this year. The local bowling community was excited to have a chance to play against top bowlers from strong bowling nations such as Australian Natasha Scott, who won two gold medals in the triples and fours at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast in April this year.
