Senior Triple Crown 2011 - Report Selections made and invitations accepted Kenny Donnelly, Sam Hull, Michael Langston, Tony O’Hare, Alan Smith and Len Wrightson met at Belfast City Airport for the flight to Cardiff. Hire cars collected and the players set off for probably the most successful medal tally by a Northern Ireland team in this competition. First stop was to drop the equipment off at the event venue, the Bowlplex in Nantgarw, Caerphilly and then across to the local restaurant for lunch. After a short drive to the hotel we returned to the bowl for practice. Everyone found play on the light oil conditions particularly challenging, this was a precursor to the tournament conditions for the weekend. Mr Terry Richards presided over the Opening Ceremony on Friday morning and, after the usual pleasantries, the competition started with the Singles. First to show with a 242 was Gary Hopkins from the host country, this was closely followed by Kenny Donnelly (236) and Tony O’Hare (226). Kenny maintained his consistency to win the singles and collect the first Gold. Saturday morning started with the doubles. Kenny and Tony formed quite a formidable partnership to convincingly win the second Gold (623 and 593 respectively). The team event was the next success; Alan led the way with 595 followed by Sam (577), Tony (557), Kenny (517) and Len (434) to maintain the Gold medal standard. Once the scores were added together the All Events medals were presented, Tony finished third and won the Bronze, Alan the Silver and Gary Barlow won the Gold for England. The top 8 players then progressed to a 7 game round robin. Champion and Gold Medal winner was Tony O’Hare, Alan and Kenny were placed 4th and 5th respectively. The scores of some don’t reflect how hard they had to work, particularly Len and Michael. Everyone played their part in bringing home the honours. Congratulations and well done to all. Full results can be viewed on the Tenpin Bowling Association of Wales website.
