TEN-PIN bowler Ben Barraclough was presented with awards to mark his 'maximum' at the Keighley club.

Ben was bowling at AMF Bowl in Keighley when he scored an impressive 300-point game -- which requires 12 consecutive 'strikes' and is as rare as a 147 clearance at snooker.

"It was an absolutely fantastic achievement, " said Keighley Youth Bowling Club spokesman Neil Hellewell.

Trophies to commemorate his '300' game were awarded by AMF Bowl, the Yorkshire region of the British Ten Pin Bowling Association and the Keighley club. They were presented by Les Grant, secretary of the Yorkshire Region.
