Frank Mitchell

Precision Sports

Frank N Mitchell, born in 1911, was a South African international lawn bowler whose date of death is not recorded. He bowled for the Pretoria Bowls Club and won the rinks title at the South African National Championships in 1950, 1952 and 1958. At the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver he won the gold medal in the fours, partnering Wilfred Randall, George Wilson and John Anderson. By trade he was a civil servant. The source is short, so this description stays within what it supports: a national rinks champion in the 1950s and a Commonwealth Games gold medallist in South African colours.
