World Youth Championships 5 - Boys Doubles

QUALIFYING
Another great event for the boys! After squad 1 Barrett & Hann were leading and Teece & Croke were 3rd. After both squads Barrett & Hann managed to keep the 1st place in qualifying but unfortunatley Teece & Croke were pushed out to 5th by 42.

On the way to leading the qualifying Dom & Matt broke the 6 game total record with a massive 2790 made up of Matt's 1296 and Dom's 1494 averaging 232 as a team!

The other boys posted a score of 2621 made up of Sean's 1241 and Richies's 1380!

SEMI FINALS
In the first game the boys played Iceland. They started off with 9 strikes between the 2 of them but Iceland pulled back to keep the game tight. In the end the boys sealed the win in the 10th frame to win the game 438 - 423! Sweden beat Singapore 414 - 316 so the boys played Sweden in the Final!

FINAL
Onto the final and once again the boys looked good in practice. Unfortunatley it was not meant to be and the boys did not quite keep up with the Swedes and they lost the game 399 - 417.

2 events down and 2 medals for England in the Male section....not bad considering its been a long time since England took home a male medal!
