POL-ITE 2009/2010 Bowling Championship

2009-12-01T15:41:00.009+08:00

Bowling IG shined in POL-ITE 2009/2010 Bowling Championship once again!

The POL-ITE Bowling Championships was held on the 24th of October 2009 at Safra Tampines. Two teams of Male and Female bowlers were selected to represent Republic Polytechnic (RP) and they have done everyone proud by clinching medals home again this year.

The competition was split into 3 categories, namely the Singles, Doubles and the Team event. There were a total of 8 games which were separated into 2 blocks of 4 games. The 1st block of games was the doubles event, which was held in the morning, followed by the 2nd block that was held after the lunch break.

At the beginning of the day during the doubles event, things went well for RP’s women pair, Fok Ka Wai and Clara Lim. In the 2nd game, Clara Lim scored a high game of 252 pinfall, widening their lead which the pair had built in the 1st game. The pair remained strong throughout the next 2 games, clinching the first place with a total pinfall of 1502, 121 pins ahead of the 2nd place.

In the 2nd block of the game, which was the Team event, the whole of Team RP went in with high spirits. The women Team 1, consisting of Clara Lim, Fok Ka Wai, Eileen Lim and Sophia Ang, put in their best effort and showed everyone what they are capable of by placing 1st with a total pinfall of 2852, leading the 2nd placing team from Temasek Polytechnic with 166 pins. In the last game, Eileen Lim bowled a game of 231 pinfall, which was the highest game of the Women Team Event. Womens Team 2, consisting of Lee Jia Ling, Nur Syazwani, Samantha Alexis and Sarah See, fought all the way but fell short of 3rd place, ending in the 4th place, just behind the 3rd placing by a mere 7 pinfall.

Results for the Singles Event were tabulated after all the 8 games from the doubles and team events. In the Women Singles, Clara Lim came in 1st place with a total pinfall of 1550, leading 104 pins from the 2nd place, with a high average of 193.8 pins. Her 252 pinfall high game during the doubles event was also the overall high game for the women category. Fok Ka Wai came in 3rd, missing the 2nd placing by 8 pins to Temasek Polytechnic’s Mitchelle Elaine.

In the Mens division, our bowlers faced a strong competition from the other polytechnics. It was not a good day for the guys as things did not meet up to their expectations. Nonetheless, our bowlers gave their best shot as well as a good fight to their competitors and came in 5th and 6th position for the team event. All in all, this tournament was a good learning experience for the whole team, and we will learn from this experience and continue to work hard for future tournaments.

Last but not least, RP’s Bowling IG defended their women’s title, clinching 1st place in the overall women’s division, and 3rd place for the overall men’s division. Republic Polytechnic came in 2nd position in the Overall Championship, right behind Temasek Polytechnic.

Well done Team!

Final results:

Singles Event:

Men: Daryl Ong (10th), Jonathan Lim (11th), Melvin Swee (13th), Lian Yihe (15th)

40th Singapore National Championship

2009-11-29T11:05:00.008+08:00

Dear Bowlers,

Team Republic Bowling would like to congratulate our bowler Fok Kawai for winning the national women champion on Saturday during the 40th Singapore National Championship.

Fok Kawai, national youth upstaged her more senior compatriots to earn the national women champion. The No. 1 seed was forced into the sudden-death decider after Asian Youth Games two gold medalist, New Hui Fen took the first match, 172-140.

But the 19-year-old Fok quickly settled down in the second match to beat Hui Fen, 201-172 to claim the coveted title. The runner-up and No. 2 seed, Hui Fen out-classed third-seed, Jannifer Tan, 224-185 to earn a crack at the title.

The champion topped the earlier 12-game finals with a total of 2629 ahead of Hui Fen in second with 2623 and Jennifer Tan third with 2419.

35th Hong Kong International Open

2009-10-04T22:20:00.006+08:00

Dear Bowlers,

2nd Oct:
Team Republic Bowling would like to congratulate Singapore's Development squad member, Fok Ka Wai upstaged a strong field to lead the Women's Open Masters first block finals of the 35th Hong Kong International Open on Friday (2nd Oct) evening.

Fok Ka Wai, who won this year's Indonesia Open Youth title, opened account with a cracking 256 to lead Macau's Chan Weng Sam in second. The Singaporean continued to fire lines of 193, 250 and 234 to stretch her lead to 87 pins at the halfway mark.

Despite two back-to-back 178s in the sixth and seventh games, Fok still held the lead by 53 pins heading to the eighth and final game from Hong Kong's Vanessa Fung in second. The leader finished off stronger with 211 to end the block with 1695 and the lead.

"After the two games of 178, coach Francis told me to switch my ball and move over to the left a bit more as the lanes were getting drier," said the 19-year-old Republic Poly biomedical student, Fok Ka Wai.

"I'm glad the change was made in time to finish strongly. I hope to maintain the same form for tomorrow and make the stepladder finals."

3rd Oct:
She failed to make the stepladder cut finishing eighth with 3176, 21 pins off sixth-seed, Chien. The top 16 Asian men and 16 Asian women in the preceding Hong Kong International Open Masters Final will be eligible to participate in the ABF Tour - Hong Kong 2008.

7th Indonesia International Open

2009-08-14T22:54:00.010+08:00

Dear Bowlers,

Team Republic Bowling would like to congratulate our bowler Fok Kawai for winning a title for Singapore. She took part in the 7th Indonesia International Open which was held on the 5th – 14th of August 2009 at the Senayan Sportainment Bowling Center, the center which hosted the World Ranking Masters 2008. It is a competition where participants compete in five different categories of: under 18, under 22, graded B, graded A and Open.

Fok Ka Wai of Singapore Sports School and a member of the SBF development squad, gave Singapore another title when she emerged the champion in the Youth Girl's Under-22 finals on Thursday.

Fok Ka Wai immediately went into the lead with a superb 232 opening game but a crack 138 in the second game saw the lead go to Indonesia's Syncheria. Fortunately, she did not panic but bounced back with 204 and 203 to regain the lead.

It was smooth sailing from then on reeling in 204, 203, 175, 208, 233, 213, 172 and 214 to emerged as a comfortable winner with 1992 over the 10-game finals.

National Age Group 2009

2009-05-01T12:54:00.000+08:00

The National Age Group 2009 was held on the 17th – 20th of March 2009 at Orchid Country Club. It is an annual tournament open to all students who are either Singapore citizens, Permanent Residents or foreigners. It is a competition where participants compete in four different categories of age: under 12, under 15, under 18 and under 21.

This year, RP sent three teams to represent Team Republic in the tournament: two men’s teams and one women’s team. The tournament was held over four days, where bowlers play four games each day for the first three days in the singles, doubles andteam event. The scores accumulated over three days will then be added to get the all-events result. The fourth day is the masters event where only the top sixteen men and top twelve women from the all-events games compete for the championships.

Our bowlers competed in the under-21 category, which is the most competitive category. Singapore’s national team as well as the other polytechnics also competed in this group.

Despite the pressure from the competitors, our bowlers kept their cool and played their own game. After an intensive four-day competition, Team RP emerged in third spot. The team which consisted of Melvin Swee, Edmund Loo, Jonathan Lim and Aaron Wan bowled a combined total pinfall of 3126, an average of 195.4. In the women’s division, our team put up a tough fight and came in at 5th position.

In the Masters Event, four bowlers from Team Republic made the cut,. The bowlers included Melvin Swee, Aaron Wan, Nur Syazwani and Clara Lim. With the strong field of players in the competition, qualifying for the Masters Event was a huge accomplishment for all of them. Competing with their best foot forward, , the final results saw Melvin Swee and Aaron coming in 14th and 16th position and Clara Lim and Nur Syawani coming in 8th and 11th position.

Overall our bowlers did well, hitting their targets set before the tournament. This will give them confidence and motivation to train harder for upcoming tournaments. The National Age Group Bowling Championship 2009 was a good learning experience. With such exposure, the whole team will learn from the lessons and strive for greater success in the upcoming tournaments.

Changes & Updates

2009-01-06T23:57:00.002+08:00

There are a few things to inform everyone here.
Please take note=)

Regarding the change in bowling attire.
The new team shirts will now be implemented.
TUESDAY trainings = Dark Blue Nike Shirt.
THURSDAY trainings = Black Adidas Shirt.
So I suppose this Thursday(8th January 2009)
No one will wear the wrong color or the wrong jersey.
Punishments will be conducted if wrong attire is presented.

There will be a team briefing on the
15th of January 2009 (Thursday) right after training.
So I hope everyone plans their time table
No one rushes home straight after training.
I request that EVERYONE must be present for training at that day.

There will be a program as part of the open house on the
10th of January(Saturday).
ALL sports IG must attend to help out in this.
I will provide additional details latest by this Thursday.
So please make yourself free this Saturday.
The event will not take long.
Maybe only from 8 to 11am.
Additional details will be provided.

New Team Shirts !

2008-12-06T13:15:00.006+08:00

Since most of us are complaining that the present bowling attire is…
Shrinking, ugly color and bad quality...
We have decided to make 2 New Jersey…

1 shirt will cost $27 each…
So 2 shirts will cost $54…
Both pieces is going to be round neck tees…
One of them is Adidas and the other Nike…
Color will be black & white and Blue & white…
The design we will mainly make it simple...

Each of us will get our names printed..
At the back of the shirt at the left sleeves area…
As usual there will be a storm logo and Republic Polytechnic Logo…

After much consideration...
The committee decided that $54 is expensive..
Therefore we decided to subsidize $14 for everyone…
So final price is around $40…

Payment must be made by Tuesday’s training 9th December 2008…
I hope everyone pays up so we can wear new shirts ASAP…
And not continue wearing our shrinking shirts… =D

Update !!! (09/12, 12:38)

Everyone will have to make payment for the new jersey today…($40)
So do draw out money from your ATM...
Or get money from wherever you get your money…
Please pay by today…
As the committee has to pay the shirts by tomorrow @ Queensway…
Your cooperation will be appreciated... =)
Thanks !!!
