Following this achievement Chelsea’s mum received a Facebook message from David Bolt, an English internationalist with a very long bowling CV of achievements and owner of Bolt Bowls. He offered to sponsor the 14-year-old for the national championships and has provided her with clothing and accessories.
She is grateful to have received the sponsorship and is delighted with the products.
Chelsea said: “I never expected to qualify for the national championships.
“As it was my first year in the competition I was just looking to get more bowling experience, so to qualify was just amazing.
“Then to get the sponsorship from Bolt Bowls really was brilliant – I can’t thank David enough for the gear and the support.”
