It sure has been quiet here for the past two weekends as no tournaments had taken place. The next one will happen on Father's Day. It's another Scotch Doubles but this time a junior and an adult must play together in a team. Inspite I don't bowl in a league at this centre, they were quite happy to let me bowl with my daughter that day. But it will be interesting to see how we all go in our little teams of parent and child.
Not really much to report about my league as I didn't bowl well last week. But I was surprise to go home with another SOTW reward. Monique got one on last Saturday. I wasn't there to watch the girls bowl this morning but I did hear Monique bowled very well. Could she receive another SOTW next week?

Another good weekend
Another weekend of bowling is now over and what a good weekend it was too. No clue about Friday nights when Frank bowls because he barely says much about his games afterwards but I do know more about my kid's performances because I am the one who intends to be there more to support them each week.
Rachel didn't bowl on Saturday morning because she was too tired after being at her school's disco on the night before. But her big sister still went and managed to bowl good. As time goes she is getting better and intends to bowl over average on most weeks. She came home with a star of the week reward too!
Also we found out the final results from last Sunday's tournament too. You might of remembered last weekend, I said their computer crashed. I am not sure if that is true because I did noticed the computers at the lane areas was still working. You would think if the control's computer crashed, wouldn't all computers be done?? I think the centre's excuse was the trophies weren't at the centre to be presented. If that was true, why lie about it to the parents and kids? Anyway to cut the long story short, Rachel's team came 8th/16 teams and Monie's team came 3rd.
This morning Monie had her tournament to play at Mt Gravatt Lanes. What a good girl with her performance!! All her games were over average. Even her team mates did well and they won....meaning they came 1st!!! Also Monie received an extra medal for high series with HCP. This means she won two tournaments in a row at an AMF centre. It just shows she is capable to bowl good at any centre.
Just when I thought Monie was all bowled out after today, she managed to bowl good again at tonight's league. I bowled quite good too! I almost bowled a 200 game but just missed out by one lousy pin. Oh yeah! We won all the points against one of the top position teams.

Bowling weekend
This weekend was quite a busy weekend with me practically living at the bowling alley again. I visited one bowling alley twice to witness my girls played in their normal league yesterday and there again this morning for both of them to play in their incentre tournament known as Battle of the Leagues. There were sixteen teams from other Junior leagues, competing with each other. It was a four man team of both sex genders to bowl three games each. Most of the teams were from teenage leagues which I feel its unfair for the junior players who only started to bowl in leagues this year. I don't understand why some parents allow their child to play three games in a tournament when they only bowl a game per week under league conditions. These poor little buggers must of been so exhausted after they finished bowling today. Unfortunately no-one was told who won because the centre's computer crashed. But I feel confident my girl's team will win as they bowled good.
While the girls played in their tournament, the junior co-ordinator of the junior leagues came around the lanes and asked if Monique was interested to bowl into a real serious tournament in September. Inspite the cost and who she plays for, I am not sure if she will be prepared to bowl 18 games in one weekend if she wishes to try it. This tournament will be played in Brisbane.
Tonight I had my league to play with Monique. Unfortuately after bowling in a tournament today she wasn't really in the mood to play tonight but I did quite well but not enough to win all the points. We played against one of the top position teams and the male who plays in that team managed to bowl well over average games.
Next time I play league is on this Wednesday. It will be interesting to see how I go. I did okay last week and managed to win all the points.

Sports Day
Being a large populated high school, their sports day intends to be on over three days this year. Only day one was a full on day but the other two days were shorter in hours.
Monique had day two of sports day today. The school had their track events for two hours. I didn't go and watch this time as I copped enough sunshine last week as I spent the whole school day there,watching their field events.
She compete in the 100m and 200m heats and finals and managed to win a riboon. From what I have observed over the years, she seems to be better athlete in longer distances. She came 4th in the 100m and 1st in 200m. Also she ran in the 400m for the firs time and managed to come 2nd. She said she couldn't be bothered more running in the 800m as she was exhausted after the 400m event.
The school still has high jump and relays to do which I heard it will happen on this Friday. Wish her luck!
