Zara played in the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 World Tenpin Masters.

Zara first got into Ten-pin bowling when at a friend's birthday party when she was 10 years old. 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 is history.

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 Enfield in London 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.
