22nd August, Singapore: Aiman Lim-John Yong-Ming Faragalla and Lim Shi En-Nur Irdina Binti Hazly added two more gold medals for Team Singapore A with victory in the Boy's and Girl's Doubles at the 22nd Asian Junior Tenpin Bowling Championships.
The first Singapore pair had topped the opening squad on a total of 2709 with Faragalla's effort of 1420 and Singles gold medallist, Lim contributing 1289. When the second squad took to the lanes, there was a keen tussle for the lead in the first three games amongst, Japan, Qatar and Malaysia.
At the halfway mark, Singles bronze medallist, Daiya Saito and Misuki Hirooka firmed up their lead comfortably after a stunning 519 in the fourth game. With another strong 438 in the fifth game, all the Japanese pair needed was 392 or more to topple Sauad A leader, Singapore.
But Saito and Hirooka clearly struggled in the tricky condition and managed only 371 to settle for the silver medal with 2688, despite topping Squad B. Seth Gray-Pendlebury and Blake Walsh of Team Australia A stormed home with a superb 481 to snatch the bronze medal with 2662.
