PERAK LEG - 4TH DAY RESULTS

It was a very exciting day today during the knockout round of all the categories. I can say that all participants were each other's neck when it came to the last few frames that determined who was the winner.

Under 12 Champions
Natasha Roslan (SEL) and Ahmad Aidil (KUL)

But, before the knockout round, our young Under-12 top 12 bowlers played their masters round of 6 games; their total brought forward from the day before. It was a close fight in the boys category when Mohd Hafiz Fikri took over the lead from Ahmad Aidil after a massive 226 in the 5th game. However, in the 6th game Ahmad Aidil kept a steady composure to score 171 while Hafiz only managed a 121. The girls category was a different scenario altogether. Natasha Roslan was to good for the others when she outclass all the other bowlers and won by a margin of 134 pins from her teammate Ayra. Ayra shot a 199 in the last game to climb up from 3rd position to 2nd.

Boys Open Champion
Muhd Amin (PRK) won back to back titles

Back to the news about the knockout round. All categories bowled their quarter finals together over 32 lanes. Then the winners rest for 30 minutes while the lane dressing took place. In the semi finals of the Boys Open Category, Mohd Shafiq Hashim from Selangor had strong and LOUD Selangor supporters behind him when going against Mohd Amirul Afif of Kuala Lumpur. With the crowd cheering him on, he won the match to go on to the finals meeting Muhd Amin of Perak who was the champion in the previous leg. He was no match for Muhd Amin when he only scored a total of 391 pinfalls compared to Amin's 450. Amin also had the local crowd rooting him on, although not as loud as Selangor but he was very comfortable on his training ground.

Girls Open Champion
Nadya Izzati (SEL)

In the Girls Open Category, top seeded going into the knock-out round Syaidatul Afifah of Perak lost to Nadya Izzati of Selangor in the finals. She was the favorite to win when only 11 Girls Open took part. Afifah had to spare in the last frame but her ball which was a solid pocket resulted in a split. Hard luck for her but congrats to Nadya with her first title of the year.

Graded Champions
Nursyamimi (PRK) and Mohd Amirul (KED)

It was an all Perak final in the Girls Graded Category when SUKMA trainee Nursyamimi took on young Ainaa Khairina. Nursyamimi won with a score of 321 against 298.

Mohd Amirul of Kedah who missed out on the title of Boys Graded Champion in the Kedah Leg, received the title of Perak Leg Boys Graded Champion when he ousted Mohd Shahril Afifie of Pahang in the finals.
