Bowling 26th August

20 Players today, a very manageable group.

Yung and Les were drawn in same team again. Would have been a stewards enquiry if they had won again for 3rd week on the trot, so they came stone motherless last.

800 B winners were John V, Darrell P (now won on his 1st two appearances) Kevin and Ted. Team score 2580.

Second with no prize – Ben, Shane, Phyllis and Stewart. Score 2499.

Might add Surachot, H, Ric and C.T. came in with 1st game score of 927 and ended up running 2nd last at the end...maybe the beer kicked in?

Best score on the day was C.T. with 280, but again no prize. Winners got the lot.

Best performers – C.T. total 691, Ted 676 and Shane 661.

That’s it again - Les

Not a lot to report this week. Scores on the whole were down. Ted was the only person to better his handicap in all three games.

Winners of B 800 were Yung (2nd week in a row) Kung, Darrell (new bowler, Canadian who lives CM and works in Nigeria) & Les (also 2nd week in a row). Score was only 2372.

Second for B 200 were John B, Corky, Phyllis & Ted, on 2344.

High score B 100 to Kevin with 273.

Hope to see you next week. Les.

Bowling 12th August

Dao & Yung back this week after 4 weeks layoff (layoff or practising!) and had net top scores of 521 and 539 respectively. Dennis H also had a pretty good day with 508.

This brings Yung back to have the shortest handicap in our group of 30.

800 baht winners today were Les, Michael, Yung & Jimmy with score of 2477.

200 baht second place went to Dao, John D, Kung & Phyllis with 2442.

Jimmy won the N.A.B.A. award being the only player not to make 200 in any game.

See you next week - Les
