Junior Ten-Pin Bowling State Championships

Over two weekends in September Luke (11 years old) and Toby (7 years old) entered the Junior State Championships in Ten-Pin Bowling at the Salisbury Bowl.

The boys have only been Ten-pin bowling since February this year, and have already competed in 3 competitions, this being the biggest, and most challenging event, with people coming from all over South Australia to compete.

Six Barossa Valley Junior Bowlers aged between 7 and 14 years old went down and entered into the titles bringing home 12 out of 15 medals. The State Championships were the first major event that six of the boys had ever been in outside of the Barossa Bowl.

Luke and Toby managed to receive a medal for all of the events that they entered. Luke received 3 gold medals, 1 for a team event, (he was in with Toby and 3 other boys from Barossa), 1 for his Doubles he entered with a friend called Steven, and one for his singles. Toby received one gold for the team event, one for his doubles with a friend called Daniel, and a bronze medal (3rd) for his singles event.
