De Sousa stunned

With a cross wind making life difficult for both players on a lightning-fast green, De Sousa’s opponent, 25-year-old Kiwi Shannon McIlroy, made his experience of these testing conditions, which he encounters frequently in New Zealand, count and he romped home, 21-3, in a disappointingly one-sided quarter final.

De Sousa (21) is one of Jersey’s most talented sporting prospects, who took up bowls almost accidentally about ten years ago, because his parents ran the catering department in Jersey’s indoor bowls club at Grainville.
