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.
