Our second season got off to a good start with our usual combination of good weather, good food and great fun. Many of you were missed and I hope we see you this Friday for Round 2. Luckily we had some terrific substitutes or perhaps I should call the ringers (Nellie!) who together were responsible for bowling a fair number of points for their teams.

 

Once again Captain Jim (Season one’s winning captain) led his new team Checkered Napkins to a stunning 12- 4 win against the all girl team Winning Colors captained by his wife Lynne Missin. Lynne, please put something in his wine before he runs away with the season, again!

 

Success was also achieved by our league’s newest captain Conor and his team Trinity Plus who managed to defeat Clay Lingo and the Ramones in a closely fought game  12-10. The nights final game was won by team Mangiamo who defeated last year’s second place Captain Rupert and The BBC’s 12- 7

 

This Friday the first game begins promptly at 6:30.

 

NOTE: Captains, please check the schedule for your start times on Friday and be sure to have your team ready to play. Contact your players and arrange substitutes as needed.

The Wooden Spoon

After a challenging season of 6 games, with just one win, this team ended up in last place. Losing by never more than just a few points, they didn’t give up but battled bravely to the end in each and every game. More than most teams, these players were evenly skilled, sharing scoring duties across the roster. Defeated by La Famiglia in last Friday’s playoffs, the recipients of this year’s Wooden Spoon award are:

Captain Jack Campbell

Susan Chaney

Sheryl Landry

Jim Leon

The Workers

We also have a few special awards this season to recognize excellence in all of the parts that must come together to create a successful League. Many people contributed to all of our enjoyment in this inaugural season, but we want to mention a few stand out contributions:

Conor Pullman, for excellence in substituting both as a player and as an important organizer of each match he attended. Conor has earned the CBL 2012 Top Scoring substitute.

While the game is the reason we are all here, the food and drink have contributed so much to our enjoyment. While we all did our share contributing dishes to each menu, once again we have two people whose excellence  must be recognized.

Kris Costa for many the wonderful dishes she brings each and every game, is awarded the CBL 2012 Best Eggs.

We all rush from work to be apart of our Friday events, but once again we have someone who when he wasn’t bowling was an integral part of our enjoyment, Matt Coates was here for set up and breakdown each game, but most importantly manned the grill  to produce fabulous dinners each Friday, For his hard work and culinary skill Matt is awarded the CBL 2012 BBQ Master.

Now there was one team we all laughed at the moment the names were drawn from the hat. With all women crew and a male captain, not known for his tact, it was assumed they would be lucky to win a single game. But they surprised us all, winning every single one of their regular season games. The Ramones with Leslie de Giere, Kris Costa and a substitute in every match including Lori Burke, Taylor Missin and Brad Coates, were led by a formidible captain Clay Lingo to first place in regular season play. To recognize excellence in Coaching, and a surprising flair for the game, this award goes to Clay Lingo, CBL 2012 Best Coach.

Our final special award goes to a woman who has been an absolute joy to have as part of our League. Though she couldn’t be here tonight, at every other game night she was thrilled to be here, she was happy win or lose, she was competitive as hell, and could certainly roll the ball. For all round excellence, Barb Kutchinski is awarded the CBL 2012 Most Inspirational.
