[TTP] Season 6 – Daniel Bonfield’s Dunstable Divisional Drop in Singles

[Rico]

Week 2 of Season 6 – man it was a scorcher. I swear there was a heat haze at about 50ft. A very poor turnout this week, but it was too be expected – it was a busy weekend of bowling with the MSL, Lez Rogers Memorial event and the senior event in Shipley. But it did mean that those that played picked up some good points. Championship – Any game over 200 was a good game it this heat. Rob Yandell opened up with a 208 and Rich Parker a 202, but the highest game of the evening and earning himself the pot money went to Jason Gowland who shot a 233 in game 3.  The high series pot also went to Jason who shot a 729 just beating Richard Parkers 720. But it was one them nights where even though Jason won both pots he only came 4th in the points situation. The early league leader is Sal Spence followed by Richard Parker. Premiership – Basher took awhile to acclimatize to the heat as he opened with 156 but a strategic bit of white tape meant he bounced back with a 253 to win the high game pot. Lee Bradley banged in a decent set with 860, but the high series pot went to the sweaty sock (literally)  Alan Keddie with a 884 block. Early league leader is Lee Bradley with Mark Secker Bag in 2nd Week 3 next week – lets hope with can start getting the attendance back up into the 20’s July 24th is the King of the Hill event at Dunstable – there are currently 9 spaces remaining.

New bowler this week Spencer Edwards, son of the leg-end Cass Edwards. Championship – Gary Waghorn continuing his good form from last season into this one shooting a 235 in game 3 to take the high game pot. Spencer was in there like swim wear and made an impressive debut shooting an 817 set, not bad for someone who hasn’t bowl competitively since YBC days. But Spencer was denied a pot on his first week by the impressive Waghorn who shot a 821 set. Ray lay and Sal Spence both shot decent sets as well. Should be a competitive championship league this year and hopefully a few bowlers earning promotions into the premier league. Premiership – Matt Trotter going for the three-peat. Having won the last 2 leagues, Matt cruised to a 974 set, and even managed to sandbag in the last game, he doesn’t want his average getting too high, just keep it in the 240’s this season. Matt won both pots with a 266 in game 2. Big Mac Macpherson shot a decent 856 and Jordan the Hit Man Hart had a consistent block for a 852. Anyone can join the league at any point in the season, and bowl as little or as often as they like – every Monday at 7.30 for a 8pm start. July 24th is the 3rd King of the Hill tournament at Dunstable – we still have 10 spaces remaining and you can enter the tournament here https://form.jotform.com/221664323403346
