Roberto da Silva

Roberto Eduardo da Silva is a former Hong Kong international lawn bowler. He was born in 1932 to Portuguese parents and worked as a banking official by trade. He won a bronze medal in the fours with Saco Delgado and Abdul Kitchell at the 1972 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Worthing. Either side of that world championship he won Commonwealth Games gold: in 1970 he was part of the four that won the gold medal at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, and eight years later he repeated the success at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton. Together the two Commonwealth Games golds and the world championship bronze make him one of the notable Hong Kong bowlers of his era.
