  1. monday pairs

    Well I am back with the blog from our Monday night pairs league, it started two Mondays ago but I had to miss the first night as I had done my back in (pulled my muscle) so I could not play, with that I could not move never mind play. Anyway we have changed our name to M N S just to make it quicker to type in to the computer.
    I will still be with my nephew Macca, but for the first week he will be bowling with john my brother in law.

    To the first game of the season with macca ...

  2. Monday Doubles Last Week

    Well here we are the last week of the doubles and we are lying in 6th place after our last game where we lost 6 – 2, we are 1 point off 5th and 5 points off 4th so all we can do is go for all 8 points and hope that the other teams drop points. There was no game last Monday due to a bank holiday so we have had to wait two weeks for this game and I have not been able to get near a bowling lane. So here we go.

    Game 1 and not a good start missed a couple of 9 pins and then had a big split, ...

    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 ...

  4. Monday Doubles 3 Weeks To Go

    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 ...

  5. Wednesday night league finale week

    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 ...
