Nathaniel ready to hit the boundary - AGAIN!
Nathaniel has continued his winning spree of late with a gold medal in the Macarthur Disabled Ten pin Bowling Championships. Winning gold was certaily a thrill as Nathaniel posted some outstanding scores with strikes and spares galore, but the highlight for Nathaniel was meeting up with the athletes and volunteers he has become friends with over the years of competition.
Earlier in the day Nathaniel participated in the Sydney West Regional Tennis Competition where he achieved tied third in the singles. It was certainly a long and tiring day but very satisfying for Nathaniel.
Never one to rest, Nathaniel has also recently participated in the invitational cricket day held at Bankstown Oval. This provided a great opportunity for Nathaniel to hone his skills in readiness for the start of the SOSUNS cricket season next month.
