A huge congrats is in order for Ben Coupland and Stephen Cowland who just won GOLD in the youth boys doubles event.

Going into the last game they needed to bowl a 427 block to jump the first squad leaders. With a high energy finish and difficult spares being made the boys bowled a 225 and a 228 to win with a 27 pin gap to second.

First gold for Australia
18th August, Beijing: Benjamin Coupland and Stephen Cowland brought Australia's first medal of the 14th Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championship as the pair edged Squad 1 leader, Kuwait by 27 pins to clinch the Boy's Doubles gold medal.

Needing only 426 in the final game of the 6-game doubles event to overtake Squad 1 leader, Mohammad Al-Zaidam and 2005 World Ranking Masters champion, Khaled Al-Dubyyan of Kuwait, Coupland posted 225 and Cowland 228 to give the Aussie pair a 453 score to secure the victory with a team total of 2526.

At the last Asian Youth championship in Perth, Australia, the host nation drew blank failing to win a single medal which more than made up for that year's disappointment. At the 2004 12th edition of the championship in Hong Kong, Australia went home with 4 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze medals.

The Kuwaiti pair settled for the silver medal with 2499 ahead of Malaysia's Adrian Ang and Doha Asian Games gold medalist, Aaron Kong in third with 2464. Coupland's 1338 in the doubles event was the highest 6-game series with Adrian Ang posting the second highest on 1299.

Hong Kong's Rickle Kam Siu Lun and Eric Tseng Tak Hin missed the podium finishing fourth with 2454, just 9 pins adrift. Malaysia's other pair of Mohd Noer Said and Syafiq Ridhwan, who was third in Squad 1 dropped to fifth with 2445.

The victory and 1338 from Benjamin Coupland propelled him into pole position in the All Events after 12 games played totaling 2524. Singles bronze medalist, Mohammad Al-Zaidam is second with 2512 with Singles gold medalist, Hung Kun Yi dropping to third with 2513.

The girls will contest their doubles event divided into two squads tomorrow morning and afternoon after which the medal presentations will be held thereafter.

Congrats guys!

I have just sent a link to the article, including the photo of you doing 'That's Gold' to the NRL Footy Show, so hopefully you will get a mention (and maybe even an XBox 360)! Keep an eye out on Thursday night from 9:30pm EST to see if they mention it.
 
Seems to be a popular process, I sent off email to 'thats gold' about two hours ago.
