THE future looks bright for a West Fife bowling trio despite coming up short at the Scottish Young Bowlers Association (SYBA) Championships recently.

Alex Meade, of Dalgety Bay Bowling Club, and Abbeyview BC duo Morgan and Devon Bicket were unfortunate not to make the semi-finals in the event held in Ayr on Sunday July 30. Despite two wins and a draw, their two losses meant it wasn’t enough to make the next round of the competition.

Bowling runs in the Meade family as the 16-year-old’s parents and younger sister also play. After being invited to try it out while waiting for her sister to finish playing one night, she fell in love with the sport.

Her mum, Laura, told Press Sport: “The girls did well down in Ayr and were certainly no disgrace to themselves with their performances; they were playing difficult teams.

“I’m proud of Alex, she’s improving all the time.”
