The Irish Sports Council has formally recognised the achievements of our representatives at last week's European Youth Championships.
The Council published a lengthy piece on its website, congratulating all of those who represented Ireland in the tournament in Munich, with special mention of course going to bronze medalist Amanda Larkin and fellow Masters finalist Sarah Finlay.
The article also mentions the relatively small resources with which our bowlers have had to develop under, and the impressive standard with which our bowlers were able to compete given these resources.
Hopefully this may be a recognition from the Council that, with more resources available, this country could compete at the very highest level in tenpin bowling. With any luck there may just be an increase in the amount of funding the sport is allocated for next year, which would go a long way to assuring that the country's top players will be more enthusiastic about representing their country in international competition.
