Emerging Stronger after Debut

Though our team of youth girls who debut at the 24th Asian Intercity Bowling Championships did not return with any medal, the experience through their participation had proven to be a valuable learning experience. Competing against other keglers from the regional bowling powerhouses such as Daegu and Pasay, this championship provided them the opportunity to benchmark their bowling skills.

Silver medalist in the 1st Asian Youth Games (Singapore) Ilma Nur Jannah and two other team mates, Kristel Oh and Oriana Tay secured themselves a place in the Masters Finals after competing in the Singles, Doubles and Team events. Kristel, Ilma and Oriana came in 8th, 12th and 13th respectively and were among the top 16 to advance to the Masters Final. Though they were knocked out after the first round of the Masters, they put up a strong performance throughout the championship.

In the Singles competition, Oriana Tay was 10th with 1164 pinfalls over 6 games while Kristel Oh, Ilma Nur Jannah and Nur Azri came in 11th, 17th and 31st with 1158, 1114 and 955 pinfalls respectively.

During the Doubles, duo Oriana Tay and Kristel Oh was 5th while duo Ilma Nur Janna and Nur Azri came in 10th while our team came in 5th with a total of 4365 pinfalls after competing over 2 blocks of 3 games.


With the experience gained in this regional championship and past events, our youth girls will  compete in the annual Singapore National Bowling Championship against other bowlers.
