After the first game Kevin (Moneycorp) clearly had his eye in with a score of 120, the only bowler top score over 100 in the first round. Unfortunately Kevin had to retire with a bad back (so he says). A buffet break followed and there must have been something in the drink as things livened up and became interesting.

The second round saw a close contest with Roddy (RTN) scoring 136 closely followed by Tony (Toldos Alchemy) on 134, other centurions were Claire (Roddy’s wife) Steve (Locksmith) and Jamie (Prosat). There was a minor competition inspired by Adam (Electrician) to see who could bowl the fastest (scoring bowl). Obviously with all the lifting involved with Satellite dishes Jamie’s shoulder muscles were the winners as he threw down one bowl achieving over 33 km per hour. Not to be out done Adam did mange one at 35 km per hour but unfortunately we think the bowl ended up three lanes away and the last we saw of Adam he was in heated discussions with a group of Spanish youngsters!

It was great to get people together (young and old!) and many thanks to Ondara Bowling Centre for their organisation especially on such a busy night caused by the rain. Many thanks to Isabel (White & Baos) for organising the event.
