Bowlers In Striking Hot Form

54th Singapore International Open, 23rd Asian Junior Tenpin Bowling Championships

54th Singapore International Open


The sound of pinfalls and collective cheers that were followed by high-fives set the mood alight at the bowling alleys in two exciting bowling competitions. Our bowlers did everything they could to amplify the mood by curling their way to victories!

The first of two “pin-tastic” performances by our bowlers was on showcase during the 54th Singapore International Open held from 25 May to 8 June 2024.

Darius See saw out an intense battle for the top spot in the Under-16 Boys' Step Ladder. He won his first game by 3 pinfalls, totalling 169 pinfalls to 166 by his opponent. Darius then kept his cool and played to his strength to win the second game by 13 pinfalls with a score of 213 to 200 pinfalls.

In the Under-18 Girls' Step Ladder, Shannen Ong Yuan Lin eased her way in the final match with a score of 205 to 186 pinfalls. Jerlyn Lam Si Ting also topped the podium in the Youth Girls' Step Ladder event winning her match with a score of 217 to 198 pinfalls.

Post-secondary student-athlete Colleen Pee stole the limelight in the Women’s Open Step Ladder. Colleen went up against alumna Bernice Lim Hui Ying and admirably rose to the challenge against her senior. Colleen won the first match by 222 pinfalls to 201 and cemented her victory in the second game with a final score of 172 pinfalls to 159.
