Kung Fu Style
After chalking up a total of 1,019-pinfall over six games, she registered a respectable 181-pinfall in the stepladder first match and edged two other contenders – Puah Bee Kuan (142) and Nur Balqis Rusli (124) – for a showdown against Sharifah Marissa.  
Earlier, Sharifah Marissa had taken the top spot in the girls' Under-15 with a combined score of 1,089-pinfall over six games.  
Selva Nivashini turned the tables on the leader with a more composed display and upstaged Sharifah Marissa 166-133, 176-149 in the stepladder final.  
A total of 104 junior bowlers took part in the four categories – girls' Under-12, boys' Under-12, girls' Under-15 and boys' Under-15.  
The top eight in each category were rewarded with prize money, while the champion in each category also received a ball.  
“We are offering the prizes as a form of incentive to spur the junior bowlers to do well in the tournament. As we are also operating a tuition centre (Bintang Ceria) for primary school pupils and secondary school students, we want to encourage the youngsters to excel in both studies and sports,” said Darshakar Trading Sdn Bhd director Muhammad Shakir Othman.  
However, the grand prize of RM1,000 for a perfect game as well as the Hi-Game for Under-12 (RM100) and Under-15 (RM100) eluded the participants. 
The Hi-Game benchmarks for the Under-12 and Under-15 categories are 230-pinfall and 260-pinfall respectively.  
Mohd Aziem Azemi, who won the boys' Under-15, came closest to the mark with his 246-pinfall effort.  
Meanwhile, Victoria Chin and Mohd Aizudeen Mustaqim triumphed in the girls' and boys' Under-12 categories respectively.  
“It was just an average performance from him. Although he recorded a poor 136-pinfall in the fifth game, he survived. Usually, he will bowl a bad game over six games. He needs to work on delivering consistent results over six games,” said Aizudeen's mother Nor Azlina Abd Samad, adding that his best of 205-pinfall in the sixth game was far from his 266-pinfall personal best.  
Following the first Bintang Ceria Youth Cup held in March, the tuition centre will be hosting its open tournament, scheduled for October.

“The categories for the tournament are men's open, women's open, girls' Under-12, boys' Under-12, girls' Under-15 and boys' Under-15. We are still working on the details to offer attractive prizes to the participants. In addition, we will also be selecting about 20 bud- ding bowlers in the Under-12 and Under-15 categories to join our junior team. We will nurture their potential with proper training,” added Muhammad Shakir.

Length and Features of a Bowling Alley Lane: What You Need to Know

Image
Bowling might seem like a very simple game. The only goal is to roll a heavy ball down a lane so it knocks down as many pins as possible. This simplified understanding, however, severely misrepresents everything that makes bowling the complex and exciting sport that it really is. Taking some time to learn the dimensions and layout of the lane is a good first step for bowlers looking to take things a bit more seriously. The Lane Area A bowling lane measures  60 feet long  and it is about  40 inches wide . If you look hard, you will notice small little strips of wood going across the width of the bowling lane about an inch wide. There are 39 of these strips and they are called boards. They are used by bowlers for aiming, but it isn't the primary reference point. In addition to the boards, a bowling lane features seven arrows arranged in a V-shape. Bowlers usually line their shots to a particular arrow. Bowlers aim at the arrows instead of the pins because t...

Bowler Evolution -Contd

Recreational bowling  - Very simply stated is any bowler who is on the lanes with the sole intention of recreation.       Competitive bowling  - Is more of a mindset than anything else. If you are competitive by nature, then chances are you are going to be a competitive bowler. The level of your competitiveness is up to you. It is at this level that a bowler should gain the type of educated assistance he or she needs to satisfy their desires.       League bowler  - From the name you can picture this bowler as either recreational or competitive, and since this person's bowling is done in a league environment, he or she only needs to be concerned with that environment and the tools and knowledge to satisfy his or her desires. Choosing the right league for your desires should be a key factor. It is sometimes humorous and other times sad to see how different the purpose or intent is among teams in a given league.  ...
