PETALING JAYA - The Sarawak women's bowling squad continued their dominance in the sport as they won their third consecutive Malaysia Games (Sukma) gold medal in the team event today.

Gillian Lim Siew Giok, Asya Dania Azree, Lavina Kho Jia Jie, Nur Hazirah Ramli and Nur Aina Kamalia Abdul Ayub came together to knock down 5,882 pins at Sunway Megalanes here to take the gold, while Perak, represented by Alya Addini Zulmari, Tuan Nurin Ellina Tuan Zamzuri, Jessica Ting Shuet Yee, Nuratiqa Syauqina Hasmadi and Nor Baitul Ayu Atisya Mohamad Ayob had to be satisfied with the silver medal with 5,560 pinfalls.

Commenting on the achievement, national athlete Gilliian said that the team had been disciplined during training in the mission to defend the gold and ensure that the squad continued to deliver for their state.

"We as a team don't want to give up, even though this is my last Sukma, today's gold has given me confidence that my two teammates are able to defend the championship in the next Sukma.
