The Results

This year’s Bowling Masters Champion is 70-year-old Mr Muhammad bin Junit from Harry Elias Partnership — who beat a field of some 35 competitors (most of whom were half his age or less!) over a series of eight consecutive games.

Mr Muhammad credits regular practice and persistence for his success. Having not performed very well in the past (he finished 11th and 15th in 2002 and 2003 respectively), Mr Muhammad started practising diligently every Saturday morning in order to improve his game. And improve he did — well done!

So, here are the prize winners of this year’s tournament held at Planet Bowl, Civil Service Club on Saturday, 31 July 2004:

1 Muhammad bin Junit Harry Elias Partnership 1438

2 Angeline Suparto Angeline Suparto & Co 1433

3 Eric Liew Rajah & Tann 1423

4 Razali bin Muhammad Drew & Napier LLC 1422

5 Alvin Cheng Chris Chong & CT Ho Partnership 1409

6 Quah Choo Kiong Acies Law Corporation 1404

7 Lawrence Tan Allen & Gledhill 1388

8 Yeow Joo Yun Khattar Wong & Partners 1327

9 Elise Ho Harry Elias Partnership 1327

The trophy for Men’s High Game Score also went to Mr Muhammad bin Junit who bowled a high 245 game, while Ms Carol Yeo of Harry Elias Partnership took home the trophy for Ladies’ High Game Score with a high game of 192.

Our Next Bowling Event

For those who feel that playing eight games in a row is a bit too much, our next bowling event may be more suitable for you — the ‘Piala Pala’ Nine Pin Tap Bowling Tournament (four games series) to be held in November this year.

‘Piala Pala’ is primarily a team event (although there are trophies awarded for individual achievements as well). Each firm may field a team (or teams) comprising five bowlers per team who will compete to become Team Champion and winner of the coveted ‘Piala Pala’ Challenge Trophy.

Until then, let’s bowl!

A triumphant Mr Muhammad bin Junit and his wife
