The
tournament which took place at Safra Yishun started off with 6 games for the
singles event on Day 1. RP Stallions got off to a cracker on this day.
Jonathan Lim Zi Xiang, one of our newest recruits in the team, took
centre stage when he started off with a game score of 201 pinfall! His next
2 games dipped a little, having a score of only 187 and 167. Nevertheless,
he took matters into his own hands when he decided that the next 3 games
were all or nothing for him. With this determined spirit, he raised his game
to the next level, recording scores of 198, 230 and ending on a high with a score of 247 in his last game.
A final surge of determination saw him claiming the 1st spot, edging out his
closest opponent by just 2 pins! Another RP Stallion, Anthony Chang
Sheu Ming, also rose to the occasion with scores of 174, 183,
189, 222, 156, 226. This one last shot proved to be his best when he grabbed
the final trophy spot in 5th position of the Singles event.
On
the final day of the tournament, our bowlers arrived at the bowling arena once
again in high spirits, ready to make the final dash for the Doubles, Quartet’s
and All-Events categories in the Championship. The day started off with 3 games
in the Doubles event; eventually only one of our pairs, Keane Chu Chee
Wei & Anthony Chang Sheu Ming made it to 7th position with an average of
203.0 and 175.0 respectively. Following close behind was our first girls' pair made up of Eileen Lim Yi Ling & Yeo Ching Yee,
with an average of 177.7 and 180.0 respectively.
Not
taking the results of the Doubles event to heart, the team refocused on doing
their best for the Quartet event this time round. It started off with bowlers
from TP and SP making a good start, and our boys, Seah Bing Zong Joel, Gary
Wong Chee Keong, Samuel Tan Eng Kim & Jonathan Lim Xi Ziang following
closely behind. The team made an impressive start with a total of 775 pin fall,
with strong rivals TP and SP having a total of 656 and 768 pin fall
respectively. The top 3 teams, including Team Republic Bowling, were
neck-to-neck in every single game. None of the teams were willing to budge until
the very end. In the end, our boys bowled a total pin fall of 2151, just 91 pins
behind leaders TP and 45 pins behind 2nd placed SP, clinching 3rd
spot in the end.
The end of the Quartet’s event brought the tournament to a close but there
was another result that everyone was eagerly waiting for. The All-Event Champion
would be the bowler who had the highest total pin-fall for both days. It was
announced that the All-Event Champion bowled a grand total of 2427 pin fall for
12 games, averaging 202.25. The Champion turned out to be our very own
Jonathan Lim Zi Xiang! Another proud Stallion was Yeo Ching Yee
coming in 5th place. This was a very proud moment for RP Stallions and we are
glad to say that the tournament has been RP Stallion’s greatest
achievement for the entire year, sweeping a total of 8 trophies for this
tournament alone!
