Pat Holmes wins Silver & Bronze medals at the European Senior Bowling Championships in Bologna, Italy

Having narrowly missed out on medals in the Singles and Doubles events, Pat’s overall combined performance in the All Events (Singles, Doubles & Trios) gave her a Bronze Medal place on the podium in the 28th European Senior Bowling Championships (ESBC) in Bologna, Italy.  

Pat’s All Events placing also gave her entry into the Masters Final where today, the top 6 players would go head to head to determine the overall ESBC champions. In a tough 5 game format where the lowest scoring bowler is eliminated after every game, Pat was up to the challenge and fought her way right through to the Final match and came home with the prestigious Silver European Tenpin Bowling Federation (ETBF) medal. Well done Pat …..
