A new women’s team was crowned champions in the 2019 Coca-Cola National Triples Bowling Championship this afternoon.

Sheryl Mar, Doreen O’Connor and Losalini Tukai defeated Litia Tikoisuva, Radhika Prasad and Loretta Kotoisuva 18-15 in the final.

Sheryl Mar says the final match against Tikoisuva’s team was a tough one and they are lucky to get away with the win.

“Very difficult. Litia is a very unpredictable player and she can draw shots and she’s a fantastic player and I think we’re just lucky to get away with a win today.”

Meanwhile, Semesa Naiseruvatu, Abdul Kalim and Suren Prasad won the men’s Triples title beating David Aitcheson’s team 18-16.
