Munster bowlers on TikTok inspiring Dutch man Max to shine

He became fascinated by videos of Munster bowlers. He disassembled the technique and rebuilt it bit by bit in his own training.

The Netherlands’ Max oude Engberink bowls like someone brought up in a bowling family in West Cork.

He probably never set foot in Ireland till the middle of last week. He got to bowl competitively here for the first time a few days later. His skill, style, and potential as a future King of the Roads were evident from his brilliant first bowl in the International Triple Crown in Ballincurrig.
