Week 3 of the Drop in Singles league. We had 2 new bowlers.. Birthday Girl Jessica Sillis and high flying youngster Ben Robinson, a really good two handed lefty. The lanes/pattern played a bit longer this evening, and it really caught out the bowlers in the Championship with a league average of just 165, whereas the bowlers in the Prem, as perhaps you would expect seemed to cope better and in fact their scoring went up with a league average of 216. In the Championship, Ray Lay opened up with a 216 and that won him the high game pot. In fact Ray’s 216 was 1 of only 3 200 games shot across the whole division. High Series went to Sal Spence with a 749 series. In the overall league standings Lee Bradley continues in the lead on 145pts with Sal Spence in 2nd on 127 and Gary Waghorn in 3rd on 122pts. In the prem, it was “levels”. This season you really have be on it from game 1 or you will be blown away, and this is mainly down to Lee Miller who has raised the bar. The rest of the field know that they can’t afford any bad weeks. Miller 2nd game of 257 looked good for the pot win. Until Jessica on her birthday finished off with a 257 game and she shared the pot with Lee. There were 3 bowlers all over 900… Alan Keddie with a 916, Ben Robinson with a 923 – but there’s no stopping the boy Miller who banged in a 955 for the pot. 
Worthy mention – Paul Loberman back bowling after a back injury caused from lifting up his wallet spared the “Greek 
church” Which he was rather pleased about. Why is it called a “Greek church” because its pattern is supposedly reminiscent of “an old cathedral type church with spires – picture of a Greek church… the resemblance is uncanny Overall Miller now has a 30point lead over Matt Trotter and Alan Keddie in 2nd. Of course there’s bowling next week – week 4 – mulled wine and mince pies will not be served. One and all are welcome to come and bowl. 7.30 registration for an 8pm start. 
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.
