After last week where we dropped 6 points we were hopping for an improvement this week, especially from Macca. He could not play as bad as last week, could he.

We start and I am off with a couple of 9 spares then an open and an 8 spare, but Macc carries on where he left off last week missing his spares, we were 15 pins down on handicap before we started against team scruff, who are 1 point above us in 4th place but we already are now some 30 pins down, it is going to be one of them ...

Now that my singles league is finished, I can concentrate on my doubles. My partner is my 13 year old cousin (Macca) who has been bowling for 2 years and has an average of 143 and a handicap of 49.
My average in this league is 163 and my handicap is37 which has come down from 41 this season.

We go into the last 3 weeks in 5th place 1 point behind 4 and 18 behind 1st so we are going to go for 3rd as we are only 13 points behind and there is 24 to play for but I think 4th is ...

This is it the last week of the league and I go into it in 2nd place 2 points behind but with a much greater pin tally.

Practice goes well with a run of 5 strikes and picking up all my spares in fact practice is so good that I feel this could be my night.

Now we start and it is a fair start picking up a couple of spares but then it is down hill, I miss a 9 pin, then I have a couple of splits and I struggle to get a 133 and no surprises I lost.

On to ...

Last wednesday night leauge is a singles leage, it has been going for 13 weeks with two to go and it is tight at the top. Going into tonight game I am lying 4th 6 points behind the lead and with a 10 point cussion behind me for 5th place.

This week I am having to play against a bye, which means I have to be within 10 pins of my average everygame and the series and I did it. My singles average is only 158 but it is going up week by week

Well game one and I am leaving ...
