League leaders Blue Angels extended their dominance at the summit of the Second Spring Senior Bowling League this week, delivering a clinical performance at Warwick Lanes.
Facing sixth-placed New Comers, the pace-setters showed exactly why they remain the team to beat this season. The Blue Angels secured a convincing 3-1 victory, further insulating their lead as the competition enters a crucial mid-winter stretch.
While the leaders flourished, the race for the remaining podium spots took an unexpected turn. Second-placed Star Lites missed a golden opportunity to close the gap, falling 3˝ - 0˝ in a lopsided encounter with the fifth-placed Pinsplitters. The Pinsplitters’ aggressive display effectively halted the Star Lites' momentum, leaving the door open for the mid-table pack to ascend.
The drama continued in the battle for third, as the Islanders also suffered a setback. In a high-stakes clash between third and fourth, Last Pin emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline. The result sees Last Pin leapfrog their rivals in the standings, intensifying the battle for silverware.
