Marinelli is Back !!!

Denis Marinelli, who is a well-known local bowler, has returned to bowling after a two-year absence.  His goal when he stopped bowling was to rehabilitate and strengthen his back, which had been giving him serious problems, and then try bowling again.

Well, I’d say that he has done a great job.  In less than two months back at the lanes, this smooth left-hander has returned to form.  On Wed, Oct 17th, in the 59’ers League at Chateau Lanes, Marinelli rolled a terrific 792 series, with games of 267, 268, and 257.  And he has done this by just “easing himself back in to bowling”, as this is his only league at this time.  I guess it’s like riding a bike – you never forget.

Congratulations Denis, and welcome back!!

Winnipeg’s First 300 of the Season !

Robbie Scerbo rolled our first perfect game of the season.  On Tuesday, Sept 25th, in the Winnipeg Senior Men’s League at Laverendrye Lanes, Scerbo threw games of 192, 212, 300, and 191.  Because the teams change lanes every game, he rolled his perfecto on lanes 13-14, which most right-handers call the most difficult pair in the centre.

Congratulations Robbie !!

299 – Oh so close !

Tyler Groening came so close to his first-ever perfect game. Only a 7-pin stopped him on his last ball.  On Sat, Sept 22, in the Chateau Lanes Youth League, in the second game of his 3-game series, he rolled a 299 game.

Congratulations and keep at it Tyler.  That 300 game will happen before you know it!

Lauraine Chatelain – First Career 500 Series

On Friday, September 21, 2018, in the Red White and Blue league at Chateau Lanes, Lauraine Chatelain rolled her first career 500 series.  She rolled games of 164, 178, and 168, for a 510 series!

This is a significant milestone for Lauraine, a newer bowler, whose entering average was 134.  We expect to see many more milestones in her career!

Congratulations !!
