Some impressive bowling was on show as the Young Baltic Association (YBA) met last Thursday (27 June) in London at All Star Lanes, Brick Lane. 

The event was well attended, providing an opportunity for younger members to relax and enjoy some informal networking.

The evening ended with a shootout for the coveted YBA Bowling Championship title. Players took turns to hit a strike or a spare to advance to the next round. The Baltic Exchange’s Crispin Eccleston made it to the final, but in the end, it was Clarksons Katerina Kalaitzian who took home the title. Speaking on her win, an extremely humbled Katerina commented:

“First, I would like to thank my mum, my dad and my brothers and of course the YBA for giving me the opportunity to show to the world my secret talent in bowling! I guess if my career in shipping goes wrong, I can be a professional bowler!!!”

Congratulations to Katerina and thank you to all those who attended. Pictures from the event are available here.
