31 & 32 – MHE (19) vs. Filminera (18)

Train your eyes on lanes 17 and 18, where the second and third placers, Lepanto and FAG, respectively, meet. It could be a hell of a fight. FAG needs to win all the three games and get at least 2 bonus points to seize the 2nd place. But, would Lepanto allow it?

Another match to watch is Cathay vs. Pansun on the next lanes. With Lino D around, beating Pansun isn't a walk in the park.

Lino D snatches 2 records; Siniong joins the club

Week 13 - Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament

Lino Diamante of Pansun Hardware, after being absent for 4 consecutive weeks, scored 258 in his first game and snatched two records in the process, the High Single – Scratch and the High Single – with Handicap. What had he done in those four weeks? I guess it’s none of our business. Anyway, he now dominates all the five male records. More icings on the cake, his team was the only team that earned a bonus point and grasped the record for the High Team Series (Scratch) as well.

Sisinio Panilag of BHP Biliton joined the Elite 225 Club by scoring 226 in his first game. Also, 225 Club member Bobot Opena scored 225 in his first game too. He now has three games of 225 and over. Lino, with his 258, has four.

Cathay Industrial seizes back the lead

Week 11 - Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament

The two leaders, Lepanto Mining and Cathay Industrial, incidentally faced each other and bowled on the same lanes last night. This encounter was a prelude to who would be the champion of this tournament.

Last week, Lepanto grabbed the lead from Cathay with a measly margin of 0.297 point only. Last night, Cathay was determined to seize it back with vengeance. It won the first two games. Lepanto, never to be cowed, managed to salvage the third game by two pins only.

Result of the games:

Team (Patterson + bonus points)


• Lepanto (2) vs. Cathay (6)
• Leighton (2) vs. Orica (6)
• Chamber/MGB (8) vs. MHE-DEMAG (0)
