Danmerl Boleros dazzle to move up to first place

For the second straight week Boleros were the top point getter, securing 38 points with Victor Pagayon emulating teammate Ruben Grino by completing a Boleros double when he won the Bowler of the Week award. Arctic Gold was a distant second on the day in the points race on 31 followed by Clear Shampoo 27, X-Alley 26 and Jem Strikers 23. YRJ Bowlers reutnred 20 points.

Only Thumbs-Up was worse than Sadia on 11 points, while D’ Barkads did better on 18. Boleros could have finished the session perfect on 40 were it not for a Game 3 misstep where they finished third behind Jem Strikers and Clear Shampoo.
