The tenpin bowling club men’s team are into the national semi- finals of the British Universities Cup after a convincing win over Manchester.
The side dominated the match from the outset and cruised to a 12.5-3.5 win.
They now await the draw for the final stages of the tournament which will all be played on April 19 in Wolverhampton.
The journey to Wolverhampton started back in November since when the side have beaten Leeds, Nottingham and Hull before the recent victory against Manchester.
The club as a whole are now having their best ever season after the men finished eighth and the women fourth at the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) tournament in February.
This is the only bowling competition that is sanctioned by BUCS and so is hotly contested.
Sheffield’s good showing also led to members of the team being called up to play for the English universities representative team.
From the men’s side Tom Millington was chosen alongside Cat Chesney from the women’s team.
This side will play against their Welsh counterparts in the coming weeks.
The club has grown hugely this year, going from around five members at the start of the year to a current membership of 26.
Tom Andrews, the club’s tournament secretary, said: “It is such a good social thing to do. Everyone knows how much of a social sport bowling is.
“You get to know all the other people really well whilst you wait for others to bowl, there is a lot of interaction.
“This year we now have a proper committee, we are a much better run club than we were and people are beginning to see that.”
