Team USA won five out of the six gold medals along with two silver and four bronze.

Tony O' Hare and Team Northern Ireland finished in the very good position of 28th in the world which puts them into World Sections for Malaysia 2012 which is limited to only 35 teams.

This was Tony’s first time to be selected for the 12 day Championships and he was delighted that they took such a good position.

He would like to thank Centrepoint Bowl, Lurgan, Marty Murray and his family and friends for their help.
