We won again!

Our friends at Rossmoor graciously hosted the annual Tunnel Challenge on Saturday, March 14 (Pi Day). We played 12-end triples games with 8 teams during the morning and again in the afternoon. Berkeley fielded 25 bowlers.

The day started with pleasantly cool weather although we expected the heat to come later, which it did by mid-afternoon. The morning games got off to a slow start with most of BLBC’s teams down, but our bowlers did what we do best; we worked together, we didn’t give up, and we went into the lunch break with 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie.

Remembering a disaster several years ago in San Francisco where BLBC needed only one win after lunch (a win which never came) we didn’t want to be overly confident going into the afternoon session. Berkeley’s teams focussed, bowled well, and won 4 games, enough to clinch victory for the day.

Thanks to all who helped us keep the trophy and thanks to Rossmoor for welcoming us to their club. It’s always a joy to bowl with the Rossmoor folks.

Our next interclub tournament is the Bay Bridge Challenge on May 2 at Berkeley. Look for an announcement as the date approaches.
