Bowling Wednesday 24 Oct

Mostly all the regulars were back this week (Garry W away with bad case of the flu) and we had 5 teams of 4 and 1 team of 3.

After the first round the boys 3 of Jam, Les and Rex were tied on 210 each with Len, Tom, Phil and Da. However the large tigers kicked in after that and the boys only managed to finish in 3rd place.
Winners were Len, Tom, Phil and Da with team average of 205.66 from Dan, Ken, Scott and Colin on 201.91.

Lowest team average this week was 191.5 up to the winners 205.66, so once again there is not much in it and any team can win.

Yung managed to get into the limelight again bowling a 226 (net 258) in one game to take highest score prize. Yung now has by far our lowest handicap of 28.

Sorry no photos as J.J. was not there (home nursing Garry) and Les never thought to bring camera.

See you next week - Les

Bowling Wednesday 17 Oct

Only 22 bowlers this week as quite a few of the regulars were absent. We divided up into 4 teams of four with 2 teams of three and based the win on the highest team average. Right from the start, the team of Rex, Yung, Jim, and Dow jumped into the lead with an average of 212.75. In this game Rex recorded what would stand as the high score of the day at 252. Much to Rex's disappointment I forgot my camera and JJ was not there to take her usual shot so Rex's fans in Cyprus and Singapore will not be able to see how well he's doing. As it turned out this team just got better and better with an average of 217.25 in the second game and 218.58 in the third. The closest rivals were John, Pim, and Richard with an average of 209.55. Lane 13 had mechanical problems again so that team were delayed long after the winners were finished. See you all next week.

Bowling Wednesday 10 Oct

8 teams of 4 this week – a good number.

Graham ( visitor to Garry W ) joined us for just the one day – but he does watch what is happening here on our website. I’m sure he enjoyed it. How was the shoulder on Thursday Graham ?

Everybody was a bit off form this week with Yung putting in best gross performance with 470 pins.

There were a few mutterings and calls for a stewards enquiry when Yung and Les drew Noi and Mon in the draw who had handicaps of 120 & 132. But this team could only make it into 2nd place with 2478 behind Nang, Aor, Garry W and Scott with 2481. (3 pins difference) Scott had a good day and bowled ave 19 above his handicap for the 3 games.

Mon’s handicap of 132 was good enough to get her the top net score in the 2nd game of 248.

See Gary Lyon to register next week, Les will be in Laos.

Bowling Wed 3 October

32 people again this week for 8 teams of 4.

Mike breeze leaves us this week to return to UK until after Xmas when we should see him back.

It was another close competition this week with Somsee, Oi, Les & Ian Mc. seeming to finish on top with 2469 pins however, Yung found an error in the score board addition of 10 pins which put them ( Dan, Yung, J.J. & Dow ) in front by 3 pins(2472). Erik, Phil H, Ted & Mike came in 3rd with 2463. So only 9 pins separated the first three teams. Pretty close eh !!
J.J. had another good day out and top scored with 499 pins.

Len had the best individual net game score with 251 in his last game and left early without collecting his prize. As did Ian Mc. for his share of 2nd prize. Oh well, more money for the Xmas party. Other good scores were Erik 249 and Les & J.J. 240.

See you next week - Les
