Bowling Trip

Last Thursday (November 13) the fourths and removes when on a bowling trip. After getting shoes fitted and repeatedly bragging about past victories, we got underway. For the most of us, the quality of the bowling started out pretty poor. But after our 3^rd or 4^th try, strikes and spares were began to be bowled. The overall winner of the first round (by a considerable margin) was Henry, who capitalised on his previous experience, scoring just short of 100 points. We then stopped for a well-earned dinner break, consisting of burgers, scampi or nuggets with a side of chips.
After this short break in the action we got underway with round 2. With confidence on our side, our scores began to increase. At the top of the board margins narrowed and there were frequent position changes. Several places were fought down to the very last bowl with an increasingly tense atmosphere. But yet again, Henry was the overall winner with a very respectable score of over 120! 
On behalf of all the boys in the house, I'd like to thank Mr Gracie for taking us and organising the trip, and Mr and Mrs Trigger's excellent advice.
