To further make the celebrations more enjoyable for Harristown, Hayley Donnelly bowled the first ever 300 in the Interschool Challenge in the 10th game of the competition on Lanes 3 & 4 at Hyperbowl Chermside. Haley’s calm appearance turned into great emotion when the 12th strike was bowled. The excitement was not only shared by her teammates but also all the other 40 bowlers who showed great camaraderie during the competition. To complement this great individual effort Harristown SHS also bowled a team game of 1035 to better their old mark set in 2002 of 1024.
An All Star Team was announced made up of the top 5 averages from the weekend and CONGRATULATIONS to these 5 bowlers.
