Leagues finished

All bowling leagues are now finished for the year. My DH had his break up and prize presentation on last Friday night while the girls had their presentation at the same centre this morning.

My DH joined an adult’s league to bowl on Friday nights where the kids bowl on Saturday mornings. He bowled in a triple’s league from 7pm.  At the end of the season his team came 10th/17 teams.  Their team came 3rd for high game with HCP. This league had a couple of top bowlers who bowl one or more 200 on most weeks.  But he can 2nd for high series scratch for males.

The girls joined a teens league to bowl three games in a triple's team on Saturday mornings.  Like other leagues they have two seasons starting from late January and July.  Both seasons have prize presentations at the centre.  But in late November, all junior leagues had their early break up celebrations at Whitewater World and Dreamworld with their families.

Today the girls managed to come home with afew winnings for both team and individual placings.  Their team came 6th/10 teams.  Also the team came 2nd for high game with HCP, 3rd for high pinfall with HCP and 3rd for high series scratch. 

Rachel didn't win any individual placings but Monique was lucky to come 2nd for high pinfall scratch, 2nd for high game with HCP and 1st for high series with HCP.

The girls won't resume a new season until school resumes next year.  But Rachel decided to go back to a Friday league as she doesn't wish to bowl early on Saturday mornings right now.  Both myself and my DH resume back into our own leagues in the New Year.

Need a break

My bowling leagues have now finished for the year.  I have a six week break for both leagues and they will resume back in January 2012. 

Already reported on how we went for Sunday night league last weekend.  Wednesday's league doesn't have an end of the year celebrations as it was only a social play each week.  I basically joined to meet new people and have a practice to try improve each week.  Not sure about practicing really worked because some weeks on Sunday night I couldn't barely
bowled average.

Frank played in an adults league on Friday nights for most of the year.  He finished his competition of play on Friday night.  His fun night and prize presentation will happened this week.  I won't be there to see the prizes rewarded as I have another commitment to attend to that night.

The girls have only one more week of competition to play then in the following week they will have their fun games and prize presentation.  I haven't checked to see how they went but I am only guessing they are about half way down the standing sheet.

The girls had their own bowling gear purchased at the beginning of the season.  Mainly because they entered tournaments throughout the year.  I should think about getting myself my own gear for next season.
