Fight Back solidified their position at the summit of the Mixed Majors Bowling League with a ruthless display at Warwick Lanes, recording a comprehensive 20-0 shutout victory over eighth-placed Movers "N" Shakers. The league leaders showed no mercy against their lower-ranked opponents, maintaining a perfect scoreline to extend their advantage at the top of the standings.
The chasing pack found the going much tougher, as several top-five sides suffered significant setbacks in their pursuit of the leaders. Third-placed Unpredictable saw their podium ambitions dented after falling to a 13-7 defeat against sixth-placed Activators. The result marks a vital turnaround for the Activators, who managed to disrupt the rhythm of one of the league's most efficient scoring sides.
In another mid-table clash with major implications, fourth-placed Thunderbolts strengthened their grip on the top four by overcoming Warriors with a 14-6 win. The fifth-placed Warriors struggled to counter the high-scoring consistency of the Thunderbolts, who continue to show the form that has made them increasingly difficult to beat in the mid-winter stretch.
The evening’s action was rounded out by second-placed Spare Change, who kept the pressure on the leaders with a hard-fought 13-7 victory over Mix Ups. While the seventh-placed Mix Ups produced a gritty display, the clinical edge of Spare Change proved decisive as the defending champions looked to reclaim their spot at the peak of the table.
