Bowled over

Yesterday was Bowling Night organised by the Social Committee at work. Our team (Michael, Ben, Lai, Malc & I) was singleminded in our pursuit of winning something, be it the highest scoring team prize or the wooden spoon.

However, we seemed to have suffered the same fate as the Australian swimming team losing Grant Hackett & Ian Thorpe before the Commonwealth Games. One week before the game, our team captain, Michael, was sidelined with a knee complaint and our star bowler, Ben, contracted a mysterious infection. So, with an understrength team, we bravely bowled and achieved our personal bests. At the end of the night, our scoresheet read:

Michael 115
Ben 98
Malc 93
Lyma 78
Lai 67

Mysteriously, even with Michael & Ben absent, they still scored the highest points. . .

Our thanks to the Social Committee for yet another fun-filled night. . . as usual, the bar tab was generous and the food, all I can say is, I’ve never had so many party pies and sausage rolls in one night . . . and didn't even make it to the calamari and spring rolls!
