Maccabi GB Tenpin Bowling

After a two week break, the league re-starts this Tuesday night.

There are several postponements still to be played before the 20th January and these have now all been arranged for next week, 13th January at either 8pm or 9.30pm. Please see the schedule in the post below.

The best news for the New Year is that the roadworks have finally finished on the M1 Motorway. In just less than three years, they’ve built 10 new bridges, 62 new gantries and caught an estimated 35,000 speeding drivers, and of course caused around 160 million disrupted journeys!

Assuming you’re sticking to the 70mph speed limit between the M25 and Junction 9, this is going to save you a whopping:

2 minutes and 24 seconds

(each way!)

Don’t knock it!

The league results from Week 12 are now on the website.

Please remember that there is no bowling for the next two weeks, but the following postponements have been re-arranged.

The results from Week 10 are now posted.

The high averages have now been added to the bottom of the League Standings (requested by Maurice Baum…that was before he bowled this week!)

There are only two more weeks of bowling before a two week break in the schedule until the New Year.

Please remember that all postponements must be played before Position Round on the 20th January 2009.

The Tuesday night before Position Round (13th Jan) has been set aside for these postponements to be played, but please remember that some teams have two matches to catch up. If you need any help arranging them, please speak to Paul.

Last weekend, five of the team that has been selected for Maccabiah in 2009 got together to bowl in the Pepsi Fives, a national tournament held in Banbury, Oxfordshire.

The team finished 7th out of 22 teams on a scratch basis, which was a good result, as it was the first time bowling together as a team. In the five man team event, the overall average was 190 – which was particularly pleasing for the team, as it beat the gold medal winning score from both of the last two Maccabiahs.

Scores from the day were as follows:

Doubles

Michael Loberman 202, 174, 202 (578)

Paul Loberman 219, 249, 227 (695)

Trios

Gary Ellis 208, 199, 202 (609)

Tony Sharpstone 171, 140, 131 (442)

Jack Nesbit 188, 192, 139 (519)

Team

Jack Nesbit 155, 221, 147 (523)

Gary Ellis 220, 184, 229 (633)

Tony Sharpstone 211, 148, 156 (515)

Michael Loberman 212, 177, 186 (575)

Paul Loberman 197, 226, 190 (613)

The team are looking to bowl in another couple of tournaments before heading out to Israel, and are confident that their preparation will gain them valuable experience and see them return from Israel with many medals.
