August 2018 Team of the Month – Irish Junior Tenpin Bowling Team
A NUMBER of Tallaght and Palmerstown tenpin bowlers played their part in one of Ireland’s most successful Junior Triple Crown campaigns in recent years.
Indeed, a squad of 12 bowlers travelled to Guilford to compete against their counterparts in England and Scotland in this year’s competition from which they returned home with a haul of 37 medals.
Based out of Tallaght Leisureplex, Lorcan and Sean Staines, Aoife Lawlor, Skye Byrne and Abby McKeever all served up great performances.
Lorcan won silver in the Under 19 Trios and bronze in the doubles while his brother Sean, competing at Under 16 degree, won Trios Gold and Team Bronze.
What’s more, the points accumulated by Sean and his compatriots Conor Fetherston, Jack Bruton and Palmerstown bowler Mark Dunne, were enough to see Ireland capture the Under 16 Boys Shield for the first time in over a decade.
Lawlor, Byrne and McKeever won the Under 16 Girls Trios before the former, together with another of the Palmerstown contingent Aimée Whistler, finished runners-up in the doubles.
Lorcan Staines, Sean O’Connor, Sean Farren and Donal Colley took silver in the U19 Boys Team event while there was gold for Jack Bruton in the singles and Whistler and Dunne in mixed doubles.
