Tenpin bowlers strike out for charity Ambition, Aspire, Achieve

The Sunday Doubles League at Rollerbowl, Romford, drew the curtain down on their season on Sunday night – and though 12 bowlers picked up honours, charity was the winner.

The league was raising money for charity Ambition, Aspire, Achieve and its work with children and young people.

It’s the 40th event the bowlers have staged in their 28-year history to raise funds for charites. Since 2000, we have raised over £14,000 for four different charities.
