KUALA LUMPUR: A bleeding thumb did not stop Wan Nadzmi Fikri of Selangor from winning the boys' Under-12 title in the Kuala Lumpur leg of the SportExcel-NSC-Milo National Junior Bowling Circuit at the Mega Lanes in Endah Parade, Sri Petaling, on Sunday.

Nadzmi chalked up a 12-game score of 2,221 to beat team-mate Mohd Hafiz Fikri by 125 pins. It was his second title on the circuit after the Johor leg last month.

In the girls' Under-12, Natasha Roslan of Selangor bagged her fourth title on the circuit after the legs in Perak, Pahang and Johor.

The national schools (MSSM) Under-12 Masters and All-Event gold medallists won the KL leg with a score of 1,983. In the Open division, Mohd Amirrul Afif of Kuala Lumpur and Syaidatul Afifah of Perak emerged as the boys' and girls' champions. To make it a memorable day for the juniors, the World Youth gold-medal winning team of Aaron Kong, Adrian Ang, Mohd Syafiq Ridhwan and Mohd Nur Aiman Khairuddin presented the prizes to the winners.
