Sassienies take the league title in the final few frames!

As the Maccabi league entered the final round this week, the top 2 teams were neck and neck with only pinfall separating them. With Little and Large taking the first game 4-0, the Sasseienies fought back to take the second game by the same score. Going into the last it was all to play for but the Sassienies held their nerve to take the final game 3-1 and win the match 11-5 meaning they are the new Maccabi league champions!

Congratulations to all who took part in the league this season. It was definitely a lot of fun and great to see a lot of the final places went down to the last week. We look forward to welcoming you back next season

Prize giving will be at Dunstable on 27th July 8.15pm. If you don’t turn up then I will take your money

P.S. I know the games for the last round underneath the league table look wrong for PLS, LUA, Thomas Cookies and Chu Chi but rest assured I have manually adjusted the points tally so that everyone ended with the amount of points they should have

Maccabi Australia International Games, Sydney

Matt — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:27:48 +0000

The Maccabi Australia International Games, or MAIGs as it is known, will take place in Sydney, Australia from 26 December 2010 until 2 January 2011. Many of the sports facilities will be those used in the Sydney Olympics and accommodation will be in a hotel near Bondi Beach. Australia expect there to be delegations from over 15 countries from across the world with around 700 participants.

Tenpin Bowling will be one of the sports taking place. At this stage, the price looks like being in the region of £2,500 for the week. At this stage, Maccabi GB are simply assessing interest levels. Whilst it sounds like alot of money, you have around fifteen months to save or raise the cash, so more than enough time. Hearing first hand from the Australians at the Maccabiah Games, the MAIGs is supposed to be a fantastic event.

For more information or to register your interest, please contact Matthew Plax.

In the Mens Masters Final, Phil Sachs from Australia won the Gold Medal beating Mexico’s Isaac Amkie 2-0 in the final. Read all about how the GB team did on the Maccabiah 2009 Updates Page at http://www.maccabibowling.com/maccabiah-2009-updates/

As the Maccabiah Games draw to a close tonight, we shall miss the friendships that have been formed these past two weeks, and those that have been renewed (but we shall not miss the Galil Hotel in Netanya or the food that they served!).

It has been an amazing two weeks, if only it could have been topped off with a medal or two. We’ll be back in four years time to give it another go.

Maccabiah Update 19th July

Matt — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:34:36 +0000

The Trios event ended in controversy today after both the men’s and women’s Israel1 teams were penalised for amending the order of their teams between the fifth and sixth games. Their scores from these games were forfeited causing both teams to finish bottom of their respective tables. The women’s team therefore lost out on the silver medal. They had previously been warned for contravening another rule by not cleaning the gripsack powder from their balls.

Team GB1 and Team GB2 finished in joint 6th position with 3229 pins.
