Summer League 2002 - Week 11 Report

14th July 2002

Something was definately different as week 11 of the Monday league produced this session's worst crop of scores. Whether the teams were struggling to get to grips with the freshly oiled lanes or there were other forces at work, but hitting a single pin with the first ball was also quite prevalent in the early matches.

The first match bought together Wasters and Gowks, and it was the former who adapted best to the conditions and ran away with 4 -1 scorelines in the first two games. Gowks rallied in the third winning 3 points to 2 and regained their dignity a little, but trailled the overall scores with 6 to Wasters 14.

The other early match pitted Gutterlevel against Papa's Kids and, unlike their last meeting, this time it was the Kids who left Gutterlevel in their tracks. The first game was a 5 - 0 wipeout in their favour, while they won the second by 3 -2 including two halved points. The final game looked to be much closer but the Kids put on a great finish to take 4 of the available points. This produced the league's best result between two teams with a final scoreline of 17 - 3.

The final match found a depleted Hitmen & Her struggle a little against the vacancy scores. However, with the help of Ally Gray's 205 game in the second, and overall 553 series, they managed to gain 14 of the 20 points available.

However, even with these taken into account, the bowling ran relatively smoothly.
