Summer League 2002 - Week 4 Report

26th May 2002

Round 4 of the Monday Night Tenpin League saw the number of 200+ games almost hitting double figures.

The first of these came from Roddy Bremner of Hitmen & Her with a 204 game as they did battle with Gowks - his team comfortably taking all the first game points. Gowks' Barbara Ogrodnik then hit back with a 214, however Garry Ross and Ally Gray helped to ensure that the Hitmen took the lions share of game 2 also with 205 and 204 pins respectively. Game 3 was a much closer affair and Hitmen & Her eventually ran out winners by 13 points to Gowks' 7.

Lanes 5 & 6 produced the highest scores of the night as Wasters took on Papa's Kids. A closely fought first game delivered 238 pins (215 scratch) from Papa's Kids' Geoff Simpson. Wasters' sub John Mackenzie then threw a 217 to help win the 2nd game. His
brother, Donald, who was also subbing for Wasters, then slammed in a superb 262 (232 scratch) with 6 strikes in a row. Despite a 212 from the Papa's Kids' Keith Wilson, Wasters also managed a 13 to 7 points win.

Gutterlevel took on the vacancy scores with high hopes of a respectable win. The first game saw them well on target with all members bowling above average. However, pride comes before a fall, and all bar Dave McGillvray lost their points in the 2nd game. They rallied in the last game to take the match by 15 points to 5 with Robin Clarke scoring a 201.

Best results of the night came from the middle game with Geoff Simpson hitting a 562 series for Papa's Kids, and Wasters sub Donald Mackenzie getting the night's only 600+ series with a 607.

The start of the Monday Night Winter Tenpin League was a muted affair as uncertainty over the number of teams competing bought some confusion to the proceedings.  Things were not helped by a new team, a number of member changes, missing team members, and the Secretary's minor blunder in providing incorrect handicaps for the early session bowlers! However, even with these taken into account, the bowling ran relatively smoothly.

Strange statistics from week 10 of the Monday Tenpin League include the number of splits gained and the relatively low scoring compared with previous weeks.  While many bowlers escaped with just a few splits, Hitmen & Her must have felt rather hard done by as they accumulated over a third of the total from the whole night.
