Kent U14’s competed in the County
Championships at Nuneaton on Sunday11th
October 2009. Coach’s for the Girl’s were
Gary Cullen and Ella Patrick, and for the
Boy’s, Richard Lambkin and Peter Leeke.
Also keeping an eye on things were John
Cooper and President of the JKTBA Kevin
Plewis. For the individual scores please see
the attached score sheets.
Even though Josie Clarke from Cliftonville
YBC was so poorly we didn’t think she would
be able to bowl. The Girl’s got off to a flyer
scoring a 663 series. Toni Brazier achieving a
225 (and subsequently the High Game
Trophy). All the girls performed well with
Toni getting a 185 average and Frankie a 172
average. The girl’s did so well that they
retained the U14’s trophy which is current
pride of place at Chatham YBC with Amy.
Well done to our rookie County Coaches Gary
Cullen and Ella Patrick.
As for the Boy’s, we managed our best place
ever, 5th place. They were just 101 pins off
3rd place. They managed a respectable 3401
pin fall. All the boy’s did great, James
McMinn with a 192.4 average!!! Lathan and
Callum with 171 averages. Ryan did well also
considering he was called in at late notice
due to one of the other boy’s being
unavailable to bowl due to family
commitments.
I would note the commitment of all the
bowler’s but especially the parents who were
undoubtedly the noisiest parents at the bowl.
We even out OGGIED Essex! We even brought
along our own mascot, Gary Cullen’s son who
led the chorus for the team....even though
he is only 3’ tall!
Thanks to everyone involved who has made
this a very successful U14’s event for the
County of Kent.
