Sporting updates

It's now been three months since we resumed back into a new season of bowling in our leagues.  My Sunday night league has been a challenge.  Most teams have been going up and down on the charts.  My highest game so far is around 170 mark.  I would like to see a 200 game but right now it might not hopeful.  My 13 yo daughter has bowled a 200 game during a tournament earlier this month.  Last weekend there was a teenage boy who bowled the most perfect game "300" during a tournament. A 300 game means 12 strikes bowled in a row.

Football season started last month.  I started to make a friendly gamble with friends on NRL matches. While they make their bets and paid, my tips have been for free. So glad I didn't paid a cent because I feel I am not the lucky person to win much. Majority of the weeks I have about average markings out of eight but one week I had six right.

School's cross country were held this week.  The primary school supposely had their run around the school ovals next week but the wet weather postponed the morning until this week.  My year 7 child did very well with her 3km run.  She came 2nd overall in her age group.  This means she does qualify to enter the districts event at another school next month.

My other child who is in year 9 has her cross country event at her high school today.  In the next hour I should know where she comes.  So I better go and see her start of her run in 30 minutes. 

Have a good weekend!

Casual tournament

I think there was a misunderstanding from the junior co-ordinator about this morning's game.  I thought it was a qualifying round for a different tournament to be played in two weeks time.  But it turns out it was a casual in centre tournament so other juniors can enter as well as the qualifying round to be done at the same time.  Killed two birds with one stone they say!! 

There was only fifteen juniors who done the qualifying round for the GC tournament while another seven other juniors were there to casually play in this incentre match for a friendly competition.  I think the youngest was a young girl aged around preschool.  She must of been good because she was one of the top six to win cash. 

My 13 yo daughter did played and she managed to bowl 75 pins over average with all her three games.  Her highest game was a 203.  She came 2nd overall to win $35 cash.

First tournament

We had a busy month with bowling leagues but only last weekend my 13 yo daughter started to play in her first tournament on Sunday morning.  Afew more centres are now involved this year.  It was around 2pm by the time we left the bowling centre to go home.

She started her second year of entering under 21's intercentre tournament.  This year they changed the people who does the bookwork for the tournament.  The rules have changed and the point structure has changed. Instead of team v's team, it is now head to head with each player. 

The prize fund still remains the same for individual placings of high games and series for a male and a female but now they give a trophy to the winning centre each month. At the end of the year there will be a break up party somewhere.

The first match was played at Capalaba Lanes. We had centres with teams of young males and females from Logan, Toowoomba, Capalaba and Caboolture were competing on dry lanes.  Unfortunately these lanes were too dry for some bowlers who bowled under average games.  My daughter was one of them!  She is too used to fast lanes! 

Great news through...their centre came 1st! Only five kids from the centre my daughter respresents won a medal for individual placings of either high games and series, scratch and handicap. 

Stayed tuned for this month's results later on in the month!
