Thursday, our last day of bowling.

We finish the competition today. Tomorrow the lot of us visit Puffing Billy and on Saturday is Carers Challenge where we bowl.

And the bowlers laugh.

But to today's results...

All-in-all, it's been a great competition. There will be results from the Carer's Challenge on Saturday (don't expect these kinds of numbers, people) and the results of any medals we've received.

Wednesday -- State Teams

A quick (really quick) blurb as we don't actually have stats for the bowlers, just the final results BUT...

On Wednesday the state teams (Open and Cole Cup squads) competed with the following results:

The Open team vanquished all comers and obliterated the competition (while, obviously, displaying great sportsmanship on the way) and came First.

By streets.

Congratulations to the squad and the Hornsby Rocket's representative, Adam Mandarano.

Competition was much, much closer in the Coles Cup, with only 11 points separating 1st from 7th and five separating 1st from 3rd.

The NSW squad (with Rockets Ben Barber, Angela Moxham and Natham Constable) tied for 4th.

A great effort by all!

Melbourne, bow before the Rockets
