THE second round of the midweek league took place last Wednesday at Wanderers Bowling Club.
Steve Van Rooyen’s side playing Berea away had a good win to take top spot in their third section.
Dennis Gericke’s side also had a win to keep themselves in the hunt in section six.
The other Wanderers BC side suffered their second loss and will have to pull a rabbit out of the bag to stay in contention.
On Saturday round three of the men’s interclub league was played. The A side scored 5-2 against Hillcrest B away, Lofty Cawthorne remaining unbeaten with a great 32-13 win. Arnie Harper and team also won well at 28-11. Richard and co came up against a back rank that pulled every trick in the book on them and lost 11-19. The B side’s Steve Van Rooyen won 23-17 but their partner team went down 15-24, so only two points were gained there as well as with the C side, thanks to a win by Andy Andraschko and co. Eric Kitchenbrand went down 18-26. Both the D and E sides lost 0-5.
