Season 3 Week 2 – Report this week from our guest writer Lee “no one touch me I’m a bowling god” Bradley No Basher this week. After shooting 900+ last Monday, Basher’s body went into shock and he’s still recovering. He’ll be back next week with all the typos you’ve come to know and love. Week 2 of Season 3 was another good showing, with 24 players spread evenly between the Championship and Premiership. Newcomers included Russ Snipper (Bat Hulk), Lorna Scott and a left handed fella who looked quality but I didn’t catch his name. James, was it? Dunno. Sorry, I’m rubbish at this. And a ginger fell also called James. Scores were pretty good, with the Premiership collectively averaging 198 (it would have been more but, y’know, Jordan Hart’s in that division now). The Championship, meanwhile, put together a solid 173 average. In the Championship, Russ Snipper debuted with an impressive 869 set, including games of 231, 235 and 247. It was enough to win him the high set pot and make him the points leader for the week. Good skittles, Russ. Lee Bradley, meanwhile, sprayed it around and got lucky to shoot 278, bagging high game. In the sure-to-be hotly contested Premiership, double defending champ Alan “Al Khedee” Keddie put in a strong 892 set. It wasn’t enough to nab the high set pot though, as house pro Lee Miller posted yet another big series with 953, which also made him points leader for the week. Meanwhile, Lorna Scott casually rocked up and dropped a 278, taking the Premiership high game pot! Great work. Special mention also to Matt Trotter for converting the 7 – 10! With Basher sparing the big four last week, mad split conversions are becoming A Thing in the league. I’m putting a tenner on Sal Spence to convert the Greek Church in Week 3. Shout out to Jackie for sorting the registration, lane allocations and all that stuff, as well as hand writing all the score sheets (!). It’s a good time to thank Basher too, who usually does all this stuff, works closely with the bowl to iron out any issues and just generally grafts to ensure we all have a good time. Get well soon, mate.

Week 1 of a new season (season 3) – 20 bowlers this week and 1 newbie – Richard Parker, welcome. There were quite a few promotions from the championship to the premiership after season 2, which has the left the championship a bit depleted. Week 1 saw 9 bowlers in the championship. There were good performances from Gary Waghorn and Roger Hurst who both averaged over 190. But winning both pots for the first time was Lee Bradley. Despite opening with a 133 first game, Lee had two 230+ games and finished with a 808 to win the cash and become the early league leader. Lee’s a bowler who spent a long time away from the game, came back a few months ago and is slowly putting his game back together and getting better every week. Premiership – Going to be a tough season this year. All the promotions are really going to mix it up and make it harder to hit good points each week. 11 bowlers this week. Lee Miller was smashing the deck as usual and also being spawny as usual with some lucky breaks. But his 266 in game 2 won him the high game pot. Lee finished with a 917 series. Elsewhere, newly promoted Darren Fox hit a 903 set and was top point scorer on the night. But winning the high series pot (his first pot in 11 weeks) was the main man, the one, the only, a legend in his own lunchbox – Dan “basher” Bonfield who hit a 922 set…. And also spared the big 4… in a quite unusual way, hitting the 7 pin, the 4 pin slid across, but it was the 7 pin that bounced back out knocking over the 10 pin in the 6pin.. Week 2 next week Monday – registration from 7.30, we bowl at 8pm – come and give the league a go, your not obliged to bowl every week – it’s all commitment free.
