The Perfect Game

Yeah!  I finally retumed back to bowling league last night after my six week break from surgery in August. It was good to be back to play. It was a good night to win all the points.

Last Tuesday my 15 yo has set a new record at Logan Lanes.  She sub play for a league on Tuesday night and guess what she rolled?  She bowled the perfect game of a 300.  For non bowlers it means she bowled 12 strikes in a row.  Apparently she's the first female junior to bowl the perfect game.  She will be given a plaque for her effort but I don't think she will be entitled to big money prize as she isn't a regular player for that league. I told afew bowlers in my league last night and most of them didn't really believe me!!

Over the weekend she was involved in a big tournament played in Brisbane.  There were ten centres completing in a junior tournament from Brisbane, Logan, Gold Coast, Toowoomba and Bundaberg.  It was a five man team of both boys and girls to bowl 18 games over two days.  Check in was 7am and they had long days.   I guess all families are thankful today is a public holiday because everyone involved would need their rest.  Some players had a long way to travel so today they would be on the road to return home to their destination.

Overall the centre my daughter represented came 6th overall which isnt too bad. I heard it was one of the Brisbane teams won the competition overall. Individually her games ranged from 197 to 107. Possibly she crashed back down to Earth after her 300 game done four days before at a different centre.
