Wow what a ride this tournament was with 16 games on Sat and 9 on Sunday!
I came out in 2nd place for Junior U18 girls and 5th in Youth U21 woman ❤️
Love each tournament as each are different and teach me new skills and show me areas to work on.
I was so honored to be selected for the Women's Outstanding Achievement Award for 2025!!
My hard work winning 12 from 15 games and increasing my tournament average by 30 pins is what had me chosen.
Wow this was a ride of adrenaline which is where I thrive. Being part of a team with team mates at least 4 years older than me, accepting me, encouraging me and believing in me is 100% amazing!!
I pushed for myself and my team with being put up against some of the top under 21 bowlers in NZ. I battled through winning 12 out of my 15 games and increasing my entering tournament average by 30 pins!!!
Our team, BOP Mauao came in 3rd!!
National Youth Championship - Junior Girls
1st Junior Girls Doubles
3rd Junior Girls Teams
Made top 10 which put me into Junior Girls Masters. It was tough going into 9 head to head games with the top under 18 girls in NZ. So many close games which I won 4 games which I am proud of. Pinfall was not high so remained in 10th. Proud to have made it into the top 10!!!
Working hard at a fundraising sausage Sizzle!!
Every bit helps - 8hrs at a BBQ selling sausages is hard work and a hard decision to skip training to raise funds to keep the goals achieveable.
