Action in the Second Spring Senior Bowling League at the Warwick Lanes saw a decisive night for the teams chasing the summit, with several key matchups tightening the battle for the top spots.
League leaders the Blue Angels had a break from competition this week, having a scheduled Bye. This opened the door for the chasing pack to capitalise and rearrange the standings just below the top spot.
Third-placed Pinsplitters put in a highly convincing performance, securing a comprehensive 4-0 shutout victory against the seventh-placed Islanders. The sweep was vital, allowing the Pinsplitters to gain maximum points and boost their challenge near the top of the table.
The night's most significant shift came from second-placed Star Lites, who delivered a strong statement by defeating the fourth-placed New Comers 4-0. This dominant victory allowed the Star Lites to secure maximum points and gain ground on the absent league leaders, while simultaneously creating distance from the New Comers below them.
In the mid-table contest, fifth-placed Drifters managed to edge out the sixth-placed Last Pin, winning their fixture 3-1. The win for the Drifters provides a necessary buffer in the tightly packed middle of the league standings.
