Lesley Hartwell

Lesley Hartwell is a former South African lawn bowler, born in 1949, who represented her country at international level. Her best known result came at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, where she won the women's singles gold medal by beating the home favourite Saedah Abdul Rahim of Malaysia 25-14 in the final, having recovered from a 3-11 deficit during the match. In 1999 she added a singles silver medal at the Atlantic Bowls Championships, held in her home country. She continues to represent the Eastern Province, an area of South Africa. The record held about her is brief and rests on a single English Wikipedia article, so further biographical detail is left for a later source pass.
