Kevin Campbell

Precision Sports

Kevin Arthur Hugh Campbell, born on 24 December 1950, is a former South African international lawn bowler. He came to prominence in 1976 when he won the triples, fours and team gold medals at the World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Johannesburg, winning 14 of 15 matches in the triples with Nando Gatti and Kelvin Lightfoot and in the fours with Gatti, Lightfoot and Bill Moseley, as South Africa swept every event. The sporting boycott of South Africa during the apartheid era denied him further chances for years, and sixteen years later he won the triples silver and fours bronze at the 1992 championship in Worthing, another bronze in 1996 in Adelaide, and a silver at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
