Led by Jeremy Garside, Duncan Lanes bowlers claimed seven medals at provincial championships in February and March.

Garside won the gold medal in the bantam boys division at the Youth Bowl Canada 10-pin provincials at McCurdy Bowling Centre in Kelowna at the end of February.

Garside led off with his highest game score ever, 233, in his first time at provincials, then bowled 182, 180, 146 and 126 for a total of 867 over the five-game match, exactly 100 points more than his Duncan Lanes teammate Alex Gammie, who finished second. Gammie bowled 143, 154, 165, 143, 162. Other Duncan bowlers in the division were Brady Wratten (fifth), Austin Ross (sixth) and Gavin Murchie (eighth).

Tyler Murchie won a silver medal in the senior boys division, his 971 match including a tournament-high game of 258. Also in that division were Kain Stewart (fifth) and Aidan Nettleton (sixth).

Bronze medallists from Duncan Lanes included Amber Kelly in the junior girls division and Samantha Gullens in senior girls. Dawn Miller placed sixth in senior girls.

Mackenzie Thompson just missed bronze in the junior boys division, finishing five pins back of third place. Kyle Murchie was sixth and Brandon Clark was eighth.

Kelly also competed in the Canadian Tenpin Federation provincial tournament, also at McCurdy Bowling Centre on March 11 and 12, taking bronze in junior girls. Her teammate Sydney Greenwood also claimed bronze in bantam girls.
