Nifty Rollers Open Up a Lead in Continental Bowling League
|
The Nifty Rollers have taken a significant step toward the Continental Bowling League title after a dominant Week 19 performance saw them establish a formidable 21-point cushion at the top of the table.
In a clinical display at Warwick Lanes, the league leaders dismantled eighth-placed New Hope with a comprehensive 26-1 victory. The result, combined with a major upset elsewhere in the top four, has transformed the title race into a potential procession for the Rollers as the 2025/26 season enters its business end.
The gap at the summit widened primarily due to a high-stakes clash between the second-placed Under Dawgs and the fourth-placed Odd Balls. In a surprising turn of events, the Odd Balls produced their best performance of the season to secure a 21.5-5.5 win over the title chasers. The heavy defeat for the Under Dawgs has severely dented their championship hopes, leaving them with a mountain to climb if they are to reel in the pacesetters.
While the top two faltered, the third-placed Astronauts took full advantage to keep their own podium ambitions alive. They produced the most emphatic scoreline of the round, recording a 27-0 shutout against bottom-of-the-table Sunset. The defeat leaves Sunset rooted to the foot of the standings, still searching for a spark to ignite their difficult campaign.
The mid-table scramble also saw a shift as the fifth-placed Cubs strengthened their position with a 23-4 win over sixth-placed Spicenix. The result allows the Cubs to look upward toward the top four, while Spicenix remain in a battle to fend off the lower-ranked teams.
Elsewhere, The Invaders enjoyed a scheduled bye week, remaining in seventh place but losing ground to the teams above them. With only a handful of weeks remaining in the season, all eyes will now turn to whether the Under Dawgs can find a response or if the Nifty Rollers’ 21-point lead will prove insurmountable.

Maycock Sets the Pace as National Bowling Trials Underway
|
 Leader after Two Rounds IslandStats.com
A total of sixteen of the island’s elite bowlers have taken to the lanes for what promises to be a grueling marathon of technical skill and endurance. With the stakes high—including qualification for the CAC Games in Santo Domingo and the IBF World Cup in Munich—the competition has been fierce from the first frame.
David Maycock has emerged as the man to beat after a clinical display across the first two rounds. He currently sits at the summit of the standings with an impressive total of 2,456 pins.
Maycock’s consistency has been his hallmark, headlined by a high game of 244. Despite the challenging professional oil patterns designed to test the versatility of the field, he has managed to keep his composure, even recovering from a low game of 150 to maintain his lead. It follows a strong opening round where he led the field with 1,337 pins, signaling his intent to reclaim the national crown.
Sitting in second place is LeVinc Samuels, who has kept the pressure on the leader with a total pinfall of 2,384. Samuels produced one of the most explosive performances of the weekend, firing a blistering 266—the highest single game of the top three thus far. However, the punishing nature of the lane conditions was evident as he also navigated a low of 146.
Lamar Richardson remains firmly in the hunt for a podium spot, currently occupying third place with ,321 pins. Richardson, a veteran of the national squad, showcased his scoring potential with a high game of 245, matching Samuels’ low of 146 during a challenging stretch.
The selection trials are far from over, with participants set to bowl a total of 30 games across five distinct rounds. After the first round, Dennis Joell had occupied the third-place spot with 1,189 pins, highlighting just how quickly the leaderboard can shift as the bowlers move through different lane patterns.
The competition will resume for Rounds 3 and 4 at the end of the month, before the final national champion is crowned on February 8th. The top finishers will not only secure gold, silver, and bronze medals but will also form the core of the Bermuda team for a busy international summer campaign.

Blue Angels Reign Supreme at Warwick Lanes
|
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 3½ - 0½ 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.

Fight Back Extend Lead as Top Teams Clash at Warwick Lanes
|
League leaders Fight Back solidified their position at the summit of the Mixed Majors Bowling League this week, delivering a clinical performance at Warwick Lanes.
In a highly anticipated showdown between the league's heavyweights, Fight Back proved too strong for third-placed Unpredictable, securing a dominant 15-5 victory. The result provides the pacesetters with crucial breathing room as the 2026 season enters its middle stages.
The mid-table battle saw significant movement as the Mix Ups edged out the Activators. Despite sitting in seventh place entering the night, the Mix Ups produced a gritty display to defeat the sixth-placed Activators 12-8, narrowing the gap between the two sides to just a handful of points.
The night’s biggest upset came from the Movers "N" Shakers. Currently sitting in eighth, they defied the form book to topple the fifth-placed Warriors with a spirited 12-8 win, proving that no position is safe in one of the island's most unpredictable leagues.

Who Gives A Split Move Into Second as Strike Force Sit Out
|
The title race in the Commercial Bowling League has tightened significantly following a pivotal night of action at the Warwick Lanes.
With league leaders Strike Force watching from the sidelines during their scheduled bye week, the chasing pack made major strides to close the gap at the summit. The most significant movement came from Who Gives A Split, who surged into second place with a professional 3-1 victory over mid-table Spare Parts. The result ensures the pressure remains firmly on the pacesetters as the season heads toward its final stretch.
There was drama further down the podium places as third-placed Sweet Life were held to a gritty 2-2 draw by the ninth-placed Pin Heads. The draw represents a missed opportunity for Sweet Life to leapfrog into the top two, while providing a vital point for the Pin Heads as they look to climb away from the foot of the table.
Elsewhere, the Secret Weapons continued their impressive climb up the standings. Currently in fourth, the Weapons delivered a clinical display to defeat fifth-placed Too Legit To Split with a 3-1 scoreline. The victory creates breathing room for the Secret Weapons in the race for a top-four finish.
In the final match of the evening, eighth-placed Butt & Vallis found their rhythm to overcome the seventh-placed Horseshoe Bay Rollers 3-1. The result sees the two sides swap momentum in the bottom half of the division, further congesting the middle of the table.
