Hello There People!

SPORTS CORNER

Bowling


Kong and Mayur from our ITLians Bowling Club participated in a tournament organised by the Mauritius Bowling Federation at Gravity MAX last Sunday.


Shout-out to our famous duo “Kong and Mayur” for winning the double scratch league! 🎉👍


Mayur on an individual performance made it to the third place in the individual scratch league.


Out of 16 teams for the double scratch league, we had only 1 team from ITLians Bowling Club and they still managed to bag the first place.


Well bowled ‘King of the Alleys’!
