This will be his second international tournament after competing in the World Cup in China in 2016.


Robby has been bowling since 1989 He has had two perfect games in his career, the last one in April this year.


 A perfect game is when one has 12 consecutive strikes, (where the bowling ball knocks down all the pins in one go) in a game. Robby has had good showings at local tournaments in 2018. 


He won the SA Doubles and SA Singles titles. These are major tournaments in the South African tournament calendar. 


He represented his province (Central Gauteng) twice this year in the inter-provincials. In the last inter-provincial tournament, he came away with 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze medal. 


Robby is hoping to start coaching in his free time, and get youngsters involved in the sport, hopefully growing the sport. Robby currently assists his fellow bowlers where he can, be it during league or when they join him during his practice sessions. 


Funding is always a problem where it comes to sporting events, and any assistance is always welcome!
