World Youth Bowling Championships: Singapore Keglers Return Winners

Singapore Keglers Return Winners

3^rd July, Bangkok – Bernice Lim started with an impressive Step 1 of the Masters final with a perfect game of 300 during her 2^nd game of Step 1. Her perfect score help to cover some ground when she bowled a low 169 during game 5, however she managed to secure a spot on the top 8, along with team mate New Hui Fen.

It proved difficult in Step 2 as both Lim and New failed to hold onto their positions as Dayang Khairuniza of Malaysia managed to recover and nudge her way into third seed, pushing our Singaporeans down a position. This resulted in Lim and New in fourth and fifth position, to add to the drama, they finished with a tied score of 6421 total pin falls where they had to bowl a one ball throw tie breaker against each other which eventually saw Lim qualify to the finals.

Lim faced off with first seed, Jacqueline J Sijore of Malasia. Sijore played an impressive game starting with 4 strikes in a row, while Lim finished the game with 2 open frames to finish 171 – 228. Lim earns herself the bronze medal for the Girls Masters.

For the first time in the World Youth Championships, the entire team will come back with a medal for the different events. The total medal tally for the team is 3 silver and 3 bronze for this year’s championships.
