She has said that she really enjoyed it so kept pestering her parents to take her all the time. Zara's nan bought her a bowling ball for Christmas that year and a Pro Shop operator recommended that she join the Youth Bowling Club so she went along on a Saturday morning and the rest was set in stone

Zara started playing in tournaments at the age of 12 and made the England youth team at 14 years old.

Her first tournament was in 1994 in the London Borough of Enfield with the National Association of Youth Bowling Clubs who hold a National Championship every year. It is said to now be the biggest tournament in Europe, running over 5 weekends.
