at the World Tenpin Bowling Championships in the United Arab Emirates.

The team of June Dill, Patricia Price, Charletta Samuels, June Pitt and Dianne Ingham were in ninth spot at the halfway stage of the six-game series, with a combined pinfall of 2,851.

But they fell away in the latter stages and finished with a total of 5,472, good enough to beat the likes of Brazil, South Africa and Russia in the standings.

Korea won the title with a pinfall of 6,183, while Colombia took the silver medal and the United States the bronze.

The Bermuda squad have high hopes for the men's team event, which should be concluded by early today.
