The 200 plus club award games, well, I’m sorry to say there were none bowled in this round.

How the competition table stands after round 20 of Pioneer League: In It to Win It 218 1/2, Nutters 214, Spicks and Specks 213 1/2, Thunderbirds 212 1/2, Nohopenhells 211 1/2, The Niners 208 1/2, The Deadly Assassins 201 1/2, MACK 201, The Screaming Banshees 191 1/2, Bitches 167 1/2, Powerpins 167, The Pin Heads 153 1/2.

Well, before I sign off bowlers and readers, may I remind you there is a team in this competition needing two players and you don’t have to be a good bowler to play in it as it is based on handicap or anyone who would like to put in their own team of four players.

There is money to be won on the first game plus five meat raffles to be won,  also great music to listen to while you are bowling.

Interested persons just come along on Monday night at 5.45pm to Shoalhaven City Lanes, Narang Road, Bomaderry and the cost is only $21 for three games.

Well, that’s all for this week, so until next week good luck and high scoring.

Les Collins.
