The 10th Asian Seniors Bowling Championships got underway at Green Valley Country Club in Pasig City, Philippines, with the Singles event. Men and women competed in separate divisions and were divided into two age groups, senior (50-59 years of age) and grand senior (60 and older).

Ivena Heald of New Zealand used a high game of 279 to win the title in the women's senior division with 1337 six-game total and an average of 222.83. Heald finished with back-to-back 226 games to beat out Susanne Jack, Australia, for the gold medal by just four pins. Jack earned the silver medal with 1333 (222.17). Honami Yanagawa, Japan, fired a huge 289 in the final game to rocket into third place and to win bronze with 1319 (219.83).

Barb Richmond won the first gold medal for Australia in the women's grand senior division with 1287 pinfall total and an average of 214.50. Richmond came out of the gates quickly with 246 and 235 and never looked back. Her compatriot Val Porteous was a distant second with 1197 including 5 pins handicap each game (194.50) and Kazumi Koike, Japan, who got 10 pins handicap, was close behind in third place with 1191 (188.50).

Tomokazu Maeda and Chikataka Iwai captured both gold medals in the men's division for Japan. Maeda had five games between 247 and 279 and a low game of 202 to win the men's senior gold with 1518 and an average of 253.00. Brenton Davy, Australia, averaged 243.83 to take the silver medal with 1463. Virgil Toledo, Guam, had a 1429 series including a 289 game to secure the bronze medal.

In the men's grand senior division, Iwai posted six games between 214 and 278 for 1451 and added 30 pins total handicap to win the title with 1481 pinfall total. His 241.83 scratch average was the highest in the division. His compatriot Yukio Kato was second with 1428 (238.00) and Rob Zikman, Australia, third with 1426 (237.67). Both players received no handicap. Zikman rolled the first 300 game of the championships in his fourth game.

The 10th Asian Seniors Bowling Championships drew 219 players - 140 men (70 seniors and 70 grand seniors) and 79 women (44 seniors and 35 grand seniors) from seven countries - Australia, Chinese Taipei, Guam, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and the Philippines - who will compete for gold, silver and bronze medals in Singles, Doubles, four-player Team, All Events and Masters.
