Clean Sweep for Keira at Nationals - Tenpin Bowling sensation continues Wonderful year with Medal Haul

Tenpin Bowling star Keira Reay continued her brilliant 2010 with national success at junior and senior levels over the past two weeks.

The St Michael’s School pupil picked up a fantastic four gold medals at the National Championships in Nottingham then put in a fine performance against the best female bowlers in the country on bank holiday Monday.

In Nottingham Keira won the intermediate (under 15) singles, doubles team, and all events (the combined total of the scores in the other categories) titles. The 14 year old also broke the national records for the singles, and all events.

Then on Monday she held her own to finish 10th in the Scot Banks Tournament in Leeds despite being the youngest bowler there.

The event is one of the most prestigious in the tenpin calendar, and attracts the best bowlers in the country.

Keira’s brilliant 2010 includes 2 perfect games in which she recorded 300 points, the maximum possible in tenpin. When she did it for the first time she was younger than the previous youngest person in Europe to Bowl a maximum, but she was not competing in a recognised league so the record did not stand.

The bowling queen has just completed the first year in England’s Academy of Bowling. She will represent them in a tournament in Vienna from 7th July – 12th, which will feature teams from across Europe. In the longer term the 14 year old is keen to become a professional bowler . Once she graduates from the academy in 2 years time she hopes to follow in the footsteps of fellow Yorkshire girl Kirsten McGregor who earned a scholarship to a collage in USA based around bowling.

Keira Reay has been selected to go to Vienna - Recently one of our young bowlers Keira Reay has been selected to go to Vienna and bowl in the World Sports Festival with the England Under 18's Squad. Keira has bowled 2 perfect 300 games in the last 3 months at Barnsley Bowl at just 13 years of age. She finished a recent competition in 1st place naming her the top female in the country for her age group.

Keira is the youngest female in the UK to bowl a 300 game and recently bowled in the Adult Nationals with Elliott Crosby, the youngest boy to have a recorded 300.

Keira started bowling at 7 years old when her mum became an employee at Barnsley Bowl. Her family and Barnsley Bowl would like other people to see Keira's achievements and encouraging like minded youngsters to be active in sport.

Youngest person to Bowl a perfect 300 game - Keira Reay, 13 years old, is officially the youngest person to Bowl a perfect 300 game in Europe and it was bowled at Barnsley Bowl. Keira, who has recently been accepted in the England Bowling Acadamy, has been bowling for six years and has come on in leaps and bounds. Recently selected to bowl for Team England in the adult Nationals competition at Nunneaton, Keira hopes to continue to improve her game. She has recently smashed the House High Series record so we at Barnsley Bowl think she will go far!! Good Luck Keira.
