Jill Hackland

Jill Hackland is a South African international lawn bowler. She won the silver medal in the women's pairs at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, and two years later, in 2004, she took a gold medal in the women's triples in a side with Trish Steyn and Loraine Victor. At home she bowled for the Umhlali Bowls Club and won the singles title at the South African national championships in 2013, which shows a competitive career that ran for well over a decade. Lawn bowls is a precision sport in which players roll biased bowls towards a small target ball, and pairs and triples are team disciplines at both the Commonwealth Games and the world championships. The English Wikipedia article gives her career results in a short bowls career section; her birth year and club appear in the article infobox rather than in its running text.
