Leon Kessel, who lived from 1911 to 2001, was a South African international lawn bowler and later a team manager. He competed in the first World Bowls Championship, held at Kyeemagh, New South Wales, Australia in 1966, and won a bronze medal there in the triples with Kelvin Lightfoot and Tommy Harvey. He went on to serve as team manager of the South African side at the 1976 World Outdoor Bowls Championship, a team his article describes as all-conquering. His career therefore spans both playing at the very first world championship and managing a dominant national squad a decade later.
