Charlotte Morland has qualified to represent Namibia at the World Bowls Singles Tournament in Scotland, later in the year.

He said the game is challenging, but they want companies to see the potential and sponsor national teams. Potgieter said he hopes that by getting many corporate teams to join and involved, this will help to change the negative perception that the game is for old people.
To prove how well the bowlers do locally and international level, the Economist spoke to two single players who have qualified for the World Bowls Singles Tournament that will be held in Scotland from 30 August to 6 September.
The two bowlers to represent Namibia at the tournament are Charlotte Morland and Johan Jacobs, who qualified after winning the local singles competition.
The local Singles Bowling competition is an annual event organised by the Namibia Bowling Association. It is divided into two categories, one for males and the other for females.
According to the two bowlers, Namibia has been at the world competitions and managed to bring a trophy home in 2003.
Morland said the local bowling competition is open to all who can play the game. She said the association is trying to organise a corporate league to develop the game, but finances are an issue like in any other sport.
Morland said that bowling is a sport that does well in Namibia and at international level. She said the two are practising twice weekly in preparation of the World Bowling Tournament. She said since it is a world tournament, competition will be tight as only the best will participate.
She said Namibia’s representatives are ready and promise to give their best.
Morland said the two competitors expect to return home with medals.
