REMARKABLE young bowler Stuart Kellett has become the first player to win both the British junior and under-25 championships.
Kellett completed the second leg of his unique double in dramatic circumstances on Friday, as he took the British under-25s crown.
He defeated Anthony O' Neill of Liverpool 21-20 in the final at the Raikes Hotel, Blackpool, fighting his way back from 17-10 down.
The Comberbach bowler, still only 19, scored 11 singles to reach his winning score and clinch the title.
