FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #20

ELM Trio: 7 - Bowled & Beautiful: 0

We had a rematch with The Bowled & The Beautiful whom we faced two weeks ago in the position round. They humbled us 5-2 in our previous match but this time we bowled much better to earn a sweep. We bowled a 1545 series the first time and 1710 in the rematch. That best explains the difference betwwen the two matches.

Even though we grabbed all seven points in the match, only the first game was a runaway. The second and third games were extremely tight and went right down to the final shots of the 10th frame.

With the sweep, we evened our second half record at 7-7. It feels good to get out of the basement. Next week we'll take on Rudy's Hot Mamas on lanes 19-20.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #19

ELM Trio: 0 - Irish Mob: 7

We started the second half of the season in much the same way we ended the first. Unfortunately, that means we were once again crushed. This time we were swept by The Irish Mob. Phil and Tim of Irish Mob had exceptional series and we weren't able to match them.

It was as nearly a scratch series as the handicap was only one pin. The Irish Mob didn't need it as our highest score of the night wouldn't have beaten their lowest.

We have won only one game in the past four weeks and our record during that span is 2-26. Obviously, we're in last place for the second half with a record of 0-7.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #18

ELM Trio: 2 - Bowled & Beautiful: 5

Our swan dive of the past two weeks nearly took us out of a shot at first place. For tonight's position round, we found ourselves in fourth place. We needed to sweep The Bowled & The Beautiful and hope for Irish Mob to take four of seven from Cleo's Trios so we could leapfrog back into first place.

Our hopes were dashed as we came out flat in the first game. We weren't much better in the second and we found down two. We finally pulled out of our funk to win the third game and stop our losing streak at ten. It was a small consolation as we finished the first half in fourth place. At the end of the night we found it wouldn't have mattered how we bowled because Cleo's Trios flattened Irish Mob to cement their spot in first place.

We'll have to regroup and win the second half so we can take on Cleo's Trios on sweeper night for the league championship. If we don't bowl any better than we have over the last month, we can forget it.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEKS #16 & #17

ELM Trio: 0 - Lucky 13: 7

ELM Trio: 0 - OJ's:     7

We were poised to grab the first half title two weeks ago. After week #15, our record was 63-32 and we'd held onto first place for most of the season. The following two weeks, we came out flat and failed to win a point. In week #16 we put up our lowest score of the season by far and we were flattened by Lucky 13. We brought our scores up a bit in week #17 but it wasn't enough to keep up with the red hot OJ's.

Week #18 is the position round and we find ourselves riding a losing streak of 14. Our record has dropped to 63-46. By falling flat on our faces, did we cost ourselves a shot at first place? We won't know until we see the stat sheet on January 10th.
