BRENDA Webb and daughter Colleen on Sunday wrote their own chapter in South African sporting history by becoming the first mother and daughter to win their sections in the singles event in a national championship. The two, playing in the women’s national in Port Elizabeth, reached the last 32 of the singles and play again on Wednesday morning. They will be watched by husband and father Clive, who himself was a finalist of the men’s national singles at the Port Elizabeth club five years ago.
While Brenda had to score a three on the last end of her match against Emile Duursema of Jeffreys Bay to win 21-19, it was Colleen who caused the major upset of the tournament when she beat the national fours skip Lorna Trigwell 21-13 in the final of their section.
