17th out of 86 entries.
In the classic doubles SMN Brendan Parr and LS Mark Tapper finish
26th out of 45 entries and the A-grade doubles of WO2 Steve
Ritchie and SGT Ian Forsyth finished 11th out of 46 entries
In the classic teams event LS Tapper, SGT Mark Seagrave, CPO

entries.
The 12 bowlers in the ADFTBA national team will attend this
