The 2011 edition of national bowls has seen the number of teams decreasing from last year when it was held in Bulawayo.
Bowls Zimbabwe president Malcom Evans is, however, happy with the way the tournament has progressed.
“We had a great improvement this year and the tournament was well organised.
“We had new champions at this year’s events and this shows that we are improving.
“Our aim is to produce some of the best players who can play in the world championships as we had some participants in the last edition but we want the number to increase.”
The prestigious bowls tournament is played once a year in either Harare or Bulawayo.
Last year the tournament was held in Bulawayo and Cara Waid William and Terry Bowls won the singles tournaments.
The duo failed to defend their titles at this year’s tournament and are only hoping to make it in the trips.
