Back-up keglers to play at AMF World Cup By Ajitpal Singh
Republished courtesy of New Straits Times - Persekutuan, Malaysia (Sep. 10, 2008)
Malaysia have the distinction of having won bowling titles in every world meet with the exception of the AMF World Cup which has remained elusive since its inception in 1968.
And it has become more difficult to win the title after the Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress (MTBC) decided to scrap it from its list of priority tournaments three years ago.
The tournament is now reserved for the national back-up bowlers.
When it was a priority event, the national bowlers did make the podium several times but never lifted the title.
