PAHANG LEG - 4TH DAY RESULTS

Shamira and Shahira with their proud mum. They awarded her with a kiss
and 2 medals.

It was the perfect gift for Shahira and Shamira's mother on mother's day when both of them qualified for the finals of the Girls Graded category. Shahira beat her sister to claim her second circuit title of the year. This time, she was also ranked 8th going into the knock-out round, similar to the Selangor Leg where she also won. I guess she loves being the underdog. ;)

Nazira and her mum

The host state of Pahang claimed the Girls Open title when Nazira Nasir beat Nur Alyany from Johor. Nazira bowled a 2 games total of 440, white washing Alyany who only managed a total of 347 pinfalls.

It was a really close fight in the Boys Open Category between Muhd Amsyar of Perak and Ros Qusyairi of Negeri Sembilan. Amsyar had an open frame in the 9th frame and that cost him the Boys Open Champion title. Qusyairi or better known as "Kuchai" by his friends and family beat Amsyar by a just 2 pins. This is his first title and he is definitely gunning for more.

Boys Graded Finalist - Syed Muhd Asyraf (PRK), Mohd Afnan Syafiq (PAH)

Perak took the Boys Graded title when Syed Mohd Asyraf pushed aside Mohd Afnan Syafiq from Pahang 362 - 280 pinfalls. Syed who had his team mates cheering him on and with his high spirited attitude didn't give any chance to Mohd Afnan Syafiq who I think was nervous since this was his first time entering the finals.
