Athletes ranging in age and bowling styles, and a mix of experience and emerging talent, will represent Australia at two of the sport’s major events in September this year.
A selection panel led by TBA National Coach, Chris Batson, today announced the teams for the 22nd Asian Tenpin Bowling Championship in Hong Kong from 2-11 September, and the inaugural WTBA World Singles Championship, to be held in Limassol, Cyprus, between 18-26 September.
Bowlers hailing from several States were chosen from the sport’s National Training Squad, and the line-ups are:-
22nd Asian Tenpin Bowling Championship
Christian Purdue, New South Wales
Chris Castle, Victoria
Sam Cooley, New South Wales
Glen Loader, New South Wales
Brendan Meads, Queensland
Stephen Cowland, New South Wales
Rebecca Whiting, Victoria
Ann-Maree Putney, New South Wales
Narelle Baker, Victoria
Bianca Flanagan, Queensland
Lexi Nicoll, New South Wales
Kaitlyn Commane, Tasmania
WTBA World Singles Championship
Christian Purdue, New South Wales
Sam Cooley, New South Wales
Lexi Nicoll, New South Wales
Ann-Maree Putney, New South Wales
“The bowlers for these teams are chosen from TBA’s National Training Squad and the athletes are selected by considering a variety of factors including coach-ability, natural talent, a keen desire to improve and of course current form,” said National Coach, Chris Batson. “The Asian Tenpin Bowling Championship is the qualifying tournament for the 2013 combined World Championship with both the men’s and women’s teams needing to finish in the top 12 to qualify. “I believe both teams will perform to a standard that will qualify Australia for the World Championships in the USA next year,” Batson added.
