SEA GAMES: Li Jane's Silver Debut

Just three pins separated the top three in a nail-biting last frame in the final game of the women's singles bowling competition that saw Sin Li Jane bag a silver on her Sea Games debut at the Jaya Ancol Bowling Centre yesterday.

The 19-year-old was on the up, eating away what was an 83-point gap at the end of the fourth game to come within 19 points of eventual winner Cherie Tan of Singapore

It was down to virtually the last throw with Li Jane already having completed the game with a score of 207 pinfalls and would have won if Cherie scored anything but a strike in her last throw, while Li Jane herself would have lost out on the silver to Singapore's Jazreel Tan had she scored just one pin less in her final throw.

The gripping finale saw Cherie under severe pressure to register a strike with gold at stake and the Singaporean produced just that to deny Li Jane by two pins with a score of 190 in the final game for a 1,286 total.

Earlier, the men's singles saw Adrian Ang claw back from a poor start to take bronze behind Filipinos Frederick Ong and Jeremy Posadas.
