Greetings!
:
Well done to the team members who played in the game against the
Eagles. We had an great margin of victory, 18-3!
Of the 3 points we missed out, I'm sorry to
say I was responsible for 2 points lost.
We may have gotten 18 out of 21 points, but let's get 1 thing
straight. They were easy meat. They did not put much pressure on us
at all, as you will see later on. It was a job we had to do and it
was a job well done, nonetheless.
We managed to leapfrog Jedi Knights to 6th, who were pushed from
5th to 7th because they themselves got mauled 6-15 by the surging
Juz-US, who are now in 5th place. Barring the round robin, we have
closed to just 4 points behind them now, and we will face them in 2
weeks time. Let's worry about Hi-Rev first (in the meantime they
will have to worry about Tiger first). 
Let's look at the results tonight.
Our series and totals were:
680 ( 775 ), 712 ( 787 ), 706 ( 781 ) = 2098 ( 2323 ) to:
511 ( 610 ), 599 ( 698 ), 532 ( 631 ) = 1642 ( 1939 )

3 Cheers for Brendan!!!
Freemun put together a 145 average (130, 169, 137)
to score 3 points against his opponent who had a 133 (109, 158,
133) average. This is a marked improvement over his 125 league
average! And his handicap is .... still 26. His average overall
moves up to 132. 3 pts to Brendo.
The man of the night has to be Ian. Putting together a Dimension X
season high 198 (224, 200, 171) average series, he completely
slammed his hapless, and I mean hapless 120 (109, 126, 125) average
opponent. Ouch. So close to a 600 series, just 5 pins away. Great
effort, my friend. Average leaps from 160 to 165, handicap drops 3
pins to 18. 4 excellent points to Ian.
Dinghua put together a decent outing, scoring a 166 (148, 178, 171)
ring banging average to batter his outclassed opponent, who scored
a 107 (110, 114, 97) average. I'm sure he didn't do as well as he
may have liked, but it's still 4 very good points. Average drops
just 1 to 169, and handicap maintains at 15.
As for myself, I dropped my first 2 games before winning the third
and barely snatching an overall series win. Got to make a special
thanks to Ian for giving some timely advice (like switching balls)
halfway through the session. I hit a 190 (178, 165, 227) average,
but my opponent wasn't a pushover as he posted a consistent 187
(183, 201, 177) average. We split the points 2 apiece. My average
moves up 3 pins to 177, handicap drops just 1 pin to 12.
