This is the seventh time in nine years local youth bowlers have advanced to the national event.

This year’s YBC National Championship goes May 4-7 in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Three other local teams also won bronze medals this past weekend.

They include Gavin Dewar and Elijah Robillard in Bantam Boys Doubles, Kyrsten Tremblay and Emma Starcevic in Senior Girls Doubles and Nicholas MacLean and Thomas Williams in Senior Boys Doubles.
