SUKMA XII - MASTERS RESULTS

Fahmi and Pui Yee showing off their medals

Wilayah Persekutuan and Johor both earned their 2nd gold medal after defeating 15 other masters finalists in yesterday's masters event. However, their victories came in different situations.

Cheong Pui Yee from Wilayah Persekutuan was in 2nd position going into the position round. She was 38 pins away from Tengku Emanina from Kedah who led from the beginning. In the last game, Ema was feeling very tensed. She just couldn't string the strikes together and in the last frame, she was left with a eight split. She completely missed both pins and ended up with a score of 170. Pui Yee was working on a strike on the 9th frame. She had to double up in order to have a chance to beat Ema and she did. Then, she needed another one to get a better chance to Ema and guess what....she STRIKED! In her last throw of the competition, she needed an 8 pin count to tie with Ema and a 9 to win. Her ball went brooklyn and all 10 pins went down to beat Ema by a mere 2 pins. The crowd cheered, Pui Yee's tears rolled down and she was hugged by all her teammates. First and last gold medal for Cheong Pui Yee of Wilayah Persekutuan in SUKMA XII.

Fahmi being hoisted by his team mates

Fahmi on the other hand had a HUGE lead going into the position round. He was leading by 150 pins from Tg. Ariff of Kedah and 157 pins from Rodson Tong of Pahang. He was already the clear winner. It was now a fight for the silver and bronze medal. Rodson eventually bowled a better game than Ariff and was awarded the silver medal. This is also Fahmi's first and last gold medal of the competition. Earlier, he and his Johor team mates won the silver medal in the Boys Team Event.
