Action in the Second Spring Senior Bowling League at Warwick Lanes delivered a significant upset this week, with sixth-placed contenders delivering a surprise defeat to a top-three rival, causing an immediate shake-up near the summit.
The result of the week saw sixth-placed New Comers stun second-placed Blue Angels, defeating them with a score of 3–1. The unexpected victory throws a wrench into the top three standings and provides a major confidence boost for the New Comers as they climb out of the bottom half of the table.
League leaders Drifters had a bye week and will return to the lanes next week, having now lost ground to the Blue Angels due to the upset.
Elsewhere on the lanes, Last Pins secured a comprehensive win by shutting out seventh-placed Islanders 4–0, securing maximum points and improving their standing.
Third-placed Star Lites kept pace in the pursuit of the leaders by defeating fifth-placed Pinsplitters 3–1. This win ensures Star Lites maintain their position in the top three despite the turbulence caused by the New Comers' victory.
