Mariana Goddard

Mariana Goddard, born in 1948, is a former international lawn bowler who was born in South Africa and represented Swaziland, the country now called Eswatini. She appeared for Swaziland at three Commonwealth Games, in 1986, 1990 and 1994, which makes her one of the long-serving bowlers of her small national team. In 1999 she won a silver medal in the triples at the Atlantic Bowls Championships, held in Cape Town, South Africa. Her record shows how lawn bowls links players across southern Africa, with a South African born competitor representing a neighbouring nation at Commonwealth level over nearly a decade of international play.
