Good Stuff everyone that bowled....yeah even you tonkin!
pffft
Loader, Porto, Cowland, Ingoe, Klop, Warmington. All deserving placegetters on a tough but fair condition. These guys are the elite of Australian Youth, and the future of our game. Congrats!
My special thanks goes to Jerry Gao. This kid bought his first ever ball 1 day earlier, has never bowled in a tournament in his life, and is one of the nicest blokes i've ever met. For those that don't know which one he was, think of the guy that had the helicopter release, that still had the stickers on his ball!
He Lives in Coburg, (around an hours DRIVE away) and travelled all the way to this event by train and taxi, using a sports bag as his ball bag. I saw him standing out the front waiting for the taxi to get him to the train station, so I gave him a ride. Barely speaks english, but he gave the impression that he absolutley LOVED the event, and was in AWE of the skills and things he saw while bowling.
Meeting him definately made my day, and if he comes along to another tournament in the future, I strongly ask all bowlers to go up and say Gday, and welcome him on to the scene. I certainly hope he comes along again!
ill be spending the next month or so iceing the knees, but im definately looking forward to the next Youth event! Hope to see some good entries there too (even you Miller!)
See you all @ Mayfield!
