Horseshoe Bay Sweep to Victory in Commercial Bowling
|
Horseshoe Bay Rollers produced the standout performance of the latest Commercial Bowling round at Warwick Lanes, cruising to a ruthless 4–0 clean sweep over Spare Parts.
In a competitive night of league action, Rollers never gave their opponents an opening, dominating across the frames to claim maximum points in the evening's only whitewash.
Elsewhere, the points were shared in a tightly contested fixture between Strike Force and Too Legit to Split, with both sides trading blows before finishing locked in a 2–2 stalemate.
A string of 3–1 scorelines shaped the rest of the night’s results. Sweet Life held their nerve to secure a 3–1 victory over Who Gives a Split, while Pin Heads produced a composed performance to see off Secret Weapons by the same margin.
Butt & Vallis were also in fine form, earning a solid 3–1 win against Rollin Pinners, and First for the Day wrapped up the session's action by overcoming Pass the 24 3–1.

Islanders Dominate as Second Senior Bowling League Returns
|
Islanders made an emphatic statement on the opening day of the Second Senior Bowling League season, sweeping aside Just Kickin with a comprehensive 4-0 whitewash at Warwick Bowl.
Elsewhere across the lanes, Blue Angels, Last Pin, and Pinsplitters all registered commanding 3-1 victories over Drifters, New Comers, and Star Lites respectively to get their campaigns off to winning starts.
The men's division witnessed an intensely competitive display at the top of the individual standings. Michael Vassell set the standard in the scratch game with an impressive 198, narrowly edging Kelvin Burt on 191 and Elvin Thomas on 177. Vassell and Thomas could not be separated in the scratch series, sharing top honours with matching scores of 510, with Burt trailing just behind on 496.
Burt came into his own in the handicap contests, sweeping both honours with an outstanding 251 game and a 676 series. Thomas took second place in both categories with scores of 217 and 630, while Vassell rolled a 216 handicap game and Willoughby Tucker claimed third in the series on 578.
In the women's events, the scratch game delivered nail-biting finishes decided by single pins. Jolene Bean topped the field with a 183, closely followed by Susie Bradshaw on 182 and Bobbie Jones on 181.
Bradshaw bounced back to dominate the scratch series, compiling a tournament-best 524 ahead of Jones on 475 and Bean on 452.
The handicap competition saw Bean lead the single game on 662, followed by Joan Clarke on 238 and Bradshaw on 228. Bradshaw also set the early pace in the handicap series on 239, while Clarke finished on 630 and Dolores Simmons secured third place with 623.

Maycock Slides Down Leaderboard in Michigan
|
Bermudian veteran David Maycock faced a testing second day at the World Series of Bowling (WSOB) XVII, as the unforgiving Scorpion oil pattern began to take its toll on the main field standings.
After a steady opening round that saw him occupy 81st place, Maycock struggled to find the same pocket consistency in the second block of qualifying. The Bermudian international slipped 22 places over the course of the session, eventually finishing the day in 103rd position.
Despite the slide, there were flashes of the high-calibre shot-making that earned Maycock his prestigious international exemption into this year’s main draw. His highlight of the second round came in the third game, where he produced a clinical 207 to momentarily arrest his descent.
However, the transitional nature of the Scorpion pattern—renowned for its 42-foot length and high scoring volatility—made stringing strikes difficult for the veteran. Maycock concluded the second round with a 10-game cumulative pinfall of 1,933, leaving him with a significant mountain to climb if he is to challenge for the knockout brackets.
While the current standings place him outside the immediate contention for the Scorpion Championship finals, the WSOB is a marathon rather than a sprint. Maycock’s campaign continues this week as the field shifts its focus to the Shark and Cheetah patterns, where the Bermudian will hope his experience in high-pressure international environments can help him claw back ground in the overall World Championship rankings.

Maycock Navigates Tough Opening in World Series of Bowling
|
Bermudian standout David Maycock has made his mark on the global stage this week, beginning his campaign in the main field of the prestigious World Series of Bowling (WSOB) XVII.
Competing among the world's elite in the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) circuit, Maycock opened his tournament in the Scorpion Championship, finishing the first round in 81st place.
The Scorpion oil pattern is notorious for its punishing length and high-scoring demands, and Maycock wasted no time in showing his quality. He started the opening block with a blistering 220 in his first game—his highest of the session—signaling his intent to the rest of the field.
However, the grueling nature of the WSOB began to take its toll as the lanes transitioned. Over the course of the five-game set, Maycock maintained a steady rhythm to finish with a total pinfall of 994.
While the 81st-place standing leaves him with work to do to climb into the knockout bracket, the experience of competing in the main draw of the World Series is a significant milestone for the veteran bowler. Maycock has long been a dominant force in the Caribbean and Atlantic regions, but the transition to the PBA’s "Major" environment represents the ultimate test of tactical execution and equipment management.
With several patterns still to come in the WSOB XVII schedule—including the Shark and Cheetah Championships—Maycock will be looking to build on his solid start and leverage his early momentum as he seeks to move up the leaderboards in Michigan.

Team Bermuda Begin Elite CAC Games Camp
|
Bermuda’s national men’s bowling team is set for a grueling transformation this weekend as they begin a series of high-intensity training camps ahead of this summer’s Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games in Santo Domingo.
The squad will undergo the first of four intensive sessions under the watchful eye of world-renowned American coach Joe Slowinski. A USBC Gold Coach with over 40 years of experience, Slowinski arrives with a glittering resume that includes coaching Team Brazil to Pan American Gold in 2015 and a long-standing tenure at the elite Kegel Training Center in Florida.
The appointment marks a significant statement of intent for Bermudian bowling. Slowinski, a pioneer in applying sports science and biomechanics to the lanes, has laid out a "rigorous" schedule that will force players to dismantle and rebuild their approach.
"This has been a long-time dream," said Team Manager Steven Riley. "To have a coach of Joe’s expertise coaching Team Bermuda has been in the pipeline for some time. Now that it’s a reality, it’s a dream come true—not just for the national team, but for the future of the sport in Bermuda."
The camp, made possible through sponsorship from FAR Holding Ltd, will see players subjected to deep-dive analytics. Training drills will cover everything from release fine-tuning and spare shooting to biomechanical video analysis and mental conditioning. In a move aimed at long-term development, several of the island’s promising junior bowlers have also been invited to shadow the senior squad.
Riley has issued a clear challenge to his players: step out of the comfort zone. "I feel this is exactly what is needed to take us to the next level," he added.
The stakes are high. At the conclusion of these camps, Slowinski will have the final say in selecting the six-man roster tasked with representing the Gombey Warriors in Santo Domingo. For those in the squad, the road to the CAC Games starts with a weekend of sweat, science, and high-pressure strikes.
