Irish tenpin bowler Christopher Sloan has qualified in 6^th place for the finals of the World Men’s Bowling Championships in Hong Kong.

The team event, in which 6 bowlers represent each nation, saw 46 countries travel to Hong Kong to compete over 10 days in Singles, Doubles, Trios and Team of five events.

Each player played 24 games in total in the tournament, and after these games the top 24 individual bowlers qualified for the Master finals.

Christopher (24), from Swords in Co. Dublin, put on a stellar performance to qualify for the Master in 6^th place, and in the process earned a bye to the Round of 16, which takes place on Wednesday Dec 5^th at 4 am Irish time.

Christopher will take on defending World Champion Francois Lavoie of Canada in the Round of 16, with the match following a best-of-three games format (first player to win 2 games advances).

Should he advance into the Round of 8, Christopher would be just one match away from the medal rounds, and two matches away from the Masters Final.

The finals will be streamed live on the Olympic Channel, with a link to the stream, as well as full tournament information and results, provided on the official tournament website, http://2018wmc.worldbowling.org/.
