Junior bowlers shine
WARRNAMBOOL’S junior bowlers have shone brightly at the recent Junior Country Cup.
The cup, held in Wodonga on September 27 and 28, brought together teams from regional centres including Ballarat, Bendigo and Shepparton.
Over the two days the juniors bowled a total of 18 games, showcasing their skills and determination.
This year Warrnambool fielded a very new team, with five bowlers participating in their first Junior Country Cup.
Despite their inexperience, the team put in a fantastic effort and finished in 9th place overall - a great achievement for such a young group.
Declan was Warrnambool’s top performer, averaging 164 over 15 games.
For the girls, Sarah led the way with an average of 128 over 14 games.
Throughout the weekend, all the kids demonstrated outstanding teamwork and sportsmanship.
This was especially evident with Ally, who was awarded the Female Sportsperson of the Tournament – a great recognition of her attitude on and off the lanes.
Next year the event will be held in Warrnambool during the September school holidays.
