New Starters – Bust enthusiast, sorry I mean BUS enthusiast Cameron Faye dropped in. You want to know anything about the bus timetable throughout central Bedfordshire ask Cam !
Also two lads who came along with Richard Still, Daniel and Alin – Welcome guys.
And Paul Lobbers also dropped in as he continues his two handed journey.
We’re right in the tournament season now – which means lots of funky pattern weeks.
This weeks pattern was a 44footer ! 25ml at 5:1
** if you want any particular pattern laid on a Monday night, I’m opened to suggestions… just message me.
Championship
Only one bowler really got to grips on the slippery conditions. That was Richie Parker who shot a 818 which was the 4th highest score across all divisions. Richie won the high series award. You take out Richard’s scores and the championship average was only 155. High game unfortunately went to Lobbers who spawned a 214 !
Overall
A massive 56pts for Richard means he’s now solidified his position at the top of the table. In 2nd is Ray Lay and in 3rd we have James Brennan.
Premiership
2nd week in a row that Alan Keddie has dominated. A massive 57pts for the sweaty sock. A 277 game and a 978 series gave Alan a clean sweep of the pots. Alan was 155 pins ahead of 2nd place Matt Trotter on the night.
Overall
Matt Trotter still leads, but Keddie’s catching up after two great weeks. In 3rd is Darren Fox with Basher moving up into 4th.
Ok we’re into Week 6, and in anticipation of the Senior County Qualifiers this weekend, we mixed it up and laid a funky pattern. That was better the then usual house pattern ! – 40ft of oil, at 6.5:1 and 25mil.
New starters, top diamond sorted gezzar Richard Still came along, it was the first time he’s ever bowled in a league environment. Welcome Richard. Krystian bought along his crew – daniel x 2 and Christopher and Gazza Waghorn turned up for his first bowl of the season.
Championship
Big Mickey Walrond shot a great 861 series and that won the high series. High game went to Angela Li who also celebrates her 57th birthday this week. Angela shot a 246 and an excellent 833 series. Elsewhere Krystian busted out a 234 from somewhere ! – all the practice paying off for him.
Overall
Ray Lay setting the pace 16 pts ahead of Richie Parker and little James in 3rd. But we’ve hit week 6 now and bowlers start catching up and I’m sure things will change as we get towards final week 10
Premiership
Alan Keddie smashed them up on lanes 15 and 16 with a 973 series to win the high pot. Also hitting 900’s were Darren Fox and his chum Matt Trottter. High game went to Jamie Hayes who went front 10 then an 7 1 for a 285 game. The last time he went that close to a 300 he threw it down the gutter, so the fact he hit some pins this time means he’s showing improvement.
Overall
Matt Trotter continues to lead with a 23point lead over his he special mate Darren Fox. In third is Bailey Guymer… but the rest of the pack have weeks to make up.
Please seniors don’t forget on the 13th and 14th June the Qubica Summer Series kicks off with an event at Dunstable. It’s 4 games on a tough pattern and then 4 games on the house pattern – it’s called the Under / Over Singles – entry form is here https://form.jotform.com/231242549866362
It was scorching hot on the lanes and our purple hammers weren’t the only balls that we had to wipe down with a shammy.
In fact I spent more time peeling my knackers off the inside of my leg then I did concentrating on the bowling.
Lots of new bowlers – my daughter Taylor came and had a bowl, and she was joined by newbies Marcus Allen and Kyran Failla. The Egg Man and CJ also dropped in, as did the leg-end that is Jamie O’Dwyer.
Right lets get into it
Championship
24 bowlers in the champ ! Little James Brennan was the top point scorer with 44pts, but he didn’t win a pot. High series went to Good Evans with a 784 series. And Ray Lay down on 1&2 opened up with a 257 that won him the high game pot.
Overall
Richard Parker put together a decent block over on the “other” side and that scored him good points to keep him at the top of the table. In 2nd is Ray Lay and in 3rd is Little James, but James has played a week less then everyone else.
Premiership
It was all about Neil Skippins who cleaned up both pots, opening up with a 247 first game and finishing with a 893 series.
Overall
Trotter had a dropper scoring only 37pts but remains in 1st place. In 2nd is his “special” friend Darren Fox and in 3rd is youngster Bailey Guymer

It was also young Bailey’s 14th Birthday ! – lack of the birthdays cakes has been noted !!
Lets get into it.
Championship
Another good week of scoring from the Champ. High series was Ray Lay with a 797 and Richie Parker won the high game opening up his block of 4 with a 246.
Shout out the James Frisby who shot a nice set with a 772 – possibly a PB.
Overall
Ray Lay takes over Richie Parker at the top of the table. Little James Brennan is in 3rd, but has played a week less then those above him
Premiership
It was the trotter show… 269 hight game pot and a 970 which gave him the high series pot as well. Jamie back on the house pattern was a lot less angry, and he shot a 947 series.
Overall
Trotter has opened up a 26 pt lead over very “close” friend Darren Fox. In third is Bailey Guymer.

Week 3 the 2nd week of titanium – Popping and dropping in for their first bowl of the season was Big Mickey Walrond and Carly Bushell.
Let’s get into it.
Championship
Some good bowling in the Championship… “Little” James had a 243 and a 782 series. The 247 won him the high game pot. However, the high series pot went to Angela Li with a 784 ! – well done Angela. A nice return to form. I think your speed helped you on the longer oilier pattern.
Overall
Top is still tricky dickie Richard Parker, 10 points behind Richard in 2nd is Ray Lay and in 3rd is Father Gerry Wrathall…. Feck, drink, arse !
Premiership
Bailey Guymer opened up with a 279… but it was a night for experience and raw sex appeal… and there’s only one bowler who has both ! yes that’s right… Basher Bonfield… a 279 3rd game to tie the high game pot and a 885 series to win the series pot.
Overall
It’s shaping up to be a very competitive season.. only 8 points currently separating the top 5. Trotter is 1, Keddie is 2 and Basher is 3
No new bowlers, but the gruesome twosome were back Alan Chan and Keith Hou. And talking of twosome’s, Jordan the Hit Man Hart and Lisa Cook also dropped in.
Mixing it up.. the pattern this week was titanium, which is being laid for the senior nationals which is happening over the next two weekends. We’re also go to lay this pattern for next weeks drop in league ! so get the abralon pads back on your balls !
Championship
Bloody tourist’s coming over to our house and stealing our pot money ! – Hi series went to Keith Hou with a 835 series. High game went to regular Richie Parker with a 232. Worthy mention to Lisa Cook who shot a 220 games.
Overall
Richie Parkers has had two good weeks and is top of the league averaging 192. 2nd is Ray Lay and 3rd is Gerry Wrathall.
Premiership
Alan Keddie looks to of recovered from his recent bout of gout – too much rich living ! pheasant for dinner, and swan eggs for breakfast. Alan opened up with a 279 game and finished with a fine 923 set. But winning the high series pot was Harrison Kroplethingy with a 947.
Overall.
It could be a close interesting season – only 3 points separating the top 4 in these early stages. Trotter 1, Humphrey 2, and Keddie 3 with Guymer 4th.
drop in standings season 26 (1)
Here we are again – and new season, Number 26th ! we had a new bowler… Zeeeeeee ! Welcome Zeeeeee… he’s got 2 older brothers they are called X and Y – that’s rubbish. Sorry. He’s got a younger sister she’s called AA – he’s parents really did “excel” at naming their children.
Lets get into it.
Championship.
James Brennan Jnr… walloped in an 801 series to win the high series pot. And high game pot went to Ray Lay with a 236.
Be interesting to see if Brennan Jnr can consistently keep the good scores going all through the season and get promoted. He’s scoring is usually a bit up and down. He can a have a 700 in YBC and then the week after hit a 420.
Premiership
Foxy had a 278 opening game… but this season has started basically where S25 left off, with Matt Trotter winning both pots after a dominant performance. A 279 game and 967 series.
