Junior League

It's been three weeks since I last bowled in my league.  And yes!  I am starting to miss my Sunday night activity. Well....its only another three weeks or so before the league resumes back to play again. I have heard through the grapevine there was a social outing on last weekend.  I wanted to go but I wasn't really informed on the full details on where to meet up at the first venue.  Besides I had something else held on the same day. 

As far as I know all Junior leagues should be finished by now.  My 15 yo had her break up and prize presentation for her Saturday morning league on the weekend.  It seems she done better then I did which is no surprise really.  Her team (of three players) came 1st/10 teams.  Also her team came 1st for high game scratch and high series with HCP. And they came 2nd for high game with HCP which is odd really as most adult leagues don't allow prizes for both scratch and HCP of the same game. Oh well! It doesn't matter now as she isn't planning on return to the same league in 2014.  For individual placing she came 1st for high game scratch (244) and high pinfall. 

Normally new season for Junior leagues resumes back when school starts but because she is thinking of joining a new adult league at the same centre which she seems to have no clue on when the returning date will be.  I am guessing it will be around mid-late January like most adult leagues are at most centres.  I just inform her she got to learn to get all the information required when you start something new.  No one will tell you anything afterwards because they just assume you knew beforehand,  That is one thing I noticed in this society, lack of communication!  But I won't go there as it isn't related to this blog posting.

If you have any break up parties for sport, enjoy your event and well done in your achievements (if you got any rewards). And remember...... don't drink and drive!!  Have a responsible person to drive you home or stay the night at a motel near the event.

Prize Presentaion

Our end of the year break up party and prize presentation was held on Saturday night at a sports club.  From 7pm to 11pm it was a good night in the function room.  We had a two course dinner, prize presentation and two guys, Robbie and Tony from Wickety Wak as our entertainment for the night. Apparently Robbie and Tony are friends with a couple of league bowlers which explains why they were at this venue at a friend's rate.

I wasn't really impress with dinner this time.  Some other bowlers more said the same thing:  the meat was uncooked and tough to eat.  I went more for the chicken because it was the only meat that looked more respectful to consume.  Salad was the only choice to eat with the meat!!  It would of been nice to see more vegetables this time. For dessert we had only two choices:  a mini pavlova with barely no fruit on it or a slice of mud cake.

But the highlight of all was the prize presentation. Alot of newcomers seem to had the luck with the prizes this year.  As I said in previous post, my team did come 7th overall.  Also we came 1st for high game with handicap which I have no clue when that was done during the year.  I received an extra envelope for having the high game scratch which I do know when that happened. It was the only 200 game I bowled all season.

Now its time for a six week break.  Didn't really affected me last night but I think it will next week as I have got used to my Sunday night routine.
