Teen bowler wins two silver medals for England

A Melksham teenager has won two silver medals representing England at a recent international indoor bowls tournament.

Alfie Holland, 17, travelled to Scotland to compete in the International Under 18s Indoor Bowls Series, which took place from 9th to 11th January. He competed against some of the best young bowlers from across the home nations.

Alfie plays outdoor bowls at the Avon Bowls Club, by Melksham Community Campus, and indoor bowls at North Wilts in Chippenham.

Alfie said, “I feel honoured and proud to have been selected for England over the past three years and to win two silver medals in my last year in the Under 18s was amazing.

“It has been a fantastic three years. The team management and squad members are all a fantastic bunch of people. Those that have supported me and messaged me from both Avon Bowls Club and North Wiltshire Indoor Bowls Club, thank you. It means a lot.”
