Nationals medal winners

More than 400 bowlers competed in the National Disability Championship in Canberra last week - competition was robust, and many records were established!

Hornsby Rockets bowlers each bowled in two series (three games) of each singles, doubles and teams events (that's a total between 180 and 390 balls for each bowler), and our five representatives in the NSW State team had an additional day of bowling, adding significantly to their totals!

Every bowler's scores and ranking for every game/series in the Championship is now available from the Tenpin Bowling Australia website, here. You can see that some of our bowlers only just missed a medal in some events. Well done all.
