Dara Sinclair Qualifies for Team Canada
May 30, 2015

Lambton County Tenpin Association bowler Dara Sinclair had an exciting May 2-4 weekend as she qualified to participate on the women’s team representing Canada in the World Seniors Championships at Las Vegas in August of this year.

The Canadian Team Trials qualifying tournament took place at Bob Brace’s Leisure Lanes in Oshawa with 114 men and 50 women from across the country trying to win the available spots on each of the men’s, women’s and Junior teams. The bowlers competed on three different challenging oil patterns, short, medium and long, tossing 18 games over the weekend to determine the team Canada members. Sinclair finished 4th to nail down the last spot.

Jill Friis and Fred Philips (both of London and formerly of Sarnia) also qualified and will be joined by the other five successful senior Canadian bowlers representing Canada in the singles, doubles and team play.

Sarnia’s Rachel McGrath also entered the tournament in the Junior division but failed to qualify for the Junior team.

In previous years, other Sarnians representing Canada were Melissa Legault (Junior 5 times and women once), Karyne Legault and Brad Geerts (Junior) and Neil Sinclair (Senior).
