Lawn bowls women's four competitor Tess Evans says Norfolk Islands' surprise 17-13 victory against South Africa earlier today was down to the closeness of the group.

Tess Evans has put Norfolk Islands' shock lawn bowls victory over South Africa down to the family-like spirit in the camp.

The tiny island of just over 2,000 inhabitants produced a surprise 17-13 triumph in the women's fours event at the Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre earlier today.

Norfolk Islands saw their 13-2 lead close to 14-13 at one stage, but they pulled away to eventually see off their South African opponents.

"I didn't feel down because I knew we were going to get there," The Guardian quotes the 50-year-old as saying. "That is not a boast, but I believe in my team. It's a good team. We work well together and we are really close, like a family."

England top Pool D following their 17-13 victory against Australia.
