On a roll

PAUL Gold and Debbie Sachs were crowned the 2011 NSW Jewish Tenpin Bowling Championship winners at Tenpin City in Lindcombe late last month.

“It was a fabulous feeling because it was on my birthday and it was an amazing atmosphere,” Gold said.

Both bowlers completed eight qualifying games and then had to win a two-game play-off to decide the title.

Gold rolled 1599 in his eight games and then easily defeated Joel Ninyo by 56 pins in the play-off when he bowled games of 212 and 214.

In the women’s competition, Sachs was unbeatable throughout the day and continued her form in the final.

She bowled 1501 in her eight games, more than 150 pins ahead of second-placed Kerri Schwarz, and then won the final play-off 376-313.

In the Handicap competition Naomi Baram won the women’s tournament with an eight-game total of 1659 while Guy Wassershtrom won the men’s competition with a total of 1724 pins.
