Morwell Bowlers Prepare For Interstate Championships

Could the Shield fall back to Victoria?

By Joe Tomasinski - 26th February 2002 - Back to News

Over the weekend three (3) of Latrobe Valleys best Junior Tenpin Bowlers Sarah Arnold , Katie Arnold and Brett Lacey made the Victorian Junior State team to represent Victoria against all other states in NSW at the end of June 2002.

Sarah , Katie and Brett (all of whom bowl at Morwell Tenpins) had to qualify over three exhausting weekends to make the team which consist of 7 girls and 7 boys in each side. All the Staff, bowlers and Gippslanders wish them the very best when they travel to NSW to win the President Shield trophy back for Victoria.

Thanks and regards,
Joe Tomasinski
Morwell Tenpins
