CITY BOWLING LEAGUE

THE lanes at Mario’s Bowling & Entertainment Palace were on fire Monday night as the City Bowling League continued its regular season action.

In a spectacular display of excellent bowling, Joanne Powell shot scores of 246, 221 and 245 for a 712 highest ladies’ three-game set ever in the Bahamas. Powell led Bahamasair Flyers past the first place team of Telco Enterprises 2-1.

A big 600 set also came from Xynea Johnson of Phil’s Food Services who shot a 633 set to earn the ladies’ runner-up MVP award. Not far behind was Driskell Rolle with a 246 second high game and also a 630 three game set.

The men were led by an outstanding performance from Kevin B Williams of Asue Draw Knights who crushed the pins for a 247 high game and a 701 high three game set. Williams therefore became a 700 club member for the first time.

Lee Davis of Ten Back Strikers toppled the pins for the second high set of 620.
