Tucker tops two leagues

Troublemakers managed to hold on to their lead in spite of losing 12 to eight to Strikers. Both Gang in Blue and Activators gained ground in the Mixed Majors league — which is typically one of Bermuda’s most wide-open leagues.

CAC Games bronze medal winner Damien Matthews was on fire with a 256 game and 644 series. Carl Reid’s 222 was only good enough for third high game among the men, but his 650 series topped everyone. Jermaine DeSilva also bowled well with a 237 game and 641 series.

Patrice Tucker bested all women with a 226 game and 614 series. The rest of the honours were split among Marguerite Lynch (209), Shirley Tuzo 9201), Pat Price (526) and Carla Whitehurst (520).
