Short and sweet this week. Firday featured Saucy Posse staying undefeated and knocking off the last other Tuesday A undefeated team, Pindecent Exposure. We are now down to three perfect teams in A, with LOS and the surprising Sultans also without blemish on Thursday. More generally Thursday averages are creeping upwards. In B Phil Frames and Tap are just crushing everything in their path, with no other perfect records in the division.
On the flip side, we are down to Groovy, Pin15, Lions Den and Bad News Spares looking for their first win, but the Lions and Pin15 battle each other this week so one of them will end their funk. Other fun matches this week feature Frankie A battling his old Skol-mates on Friday, NED battling the Wrecking Balls to see who might be the best challenger for Tap, and GOB getting the next shot at taking down Sultans. If LOS and Sultans both win this week we’ll have a battle of 7-0 teams on the 24th.
Thursday A
Last week’s bowler of the week Snapshot led BUI to a big 14.5-0.5 win over Leisure Rolls. Deputy’s big night helped OC crush Pin15 13-2. Sultans welcomed back Spidey and overcame a slow night to beat Hooligans 12-3. Mitch Cumstein came up big in an 11-4 win over GOB, continuing a nice Guac bounceback (wins over DHD and GOB) after they lost their showdown with LOS. A four player TMX kept Lion’s Den winless, 11-4. LOS stayed on top with a big 12-3 win over Average Bros even without Cheese and Precious. Finally, TDYOB had a big upset win over DHD 9-6.
