A quiet Day

Day 5 was a quiet day, as there were no entries for the morning squad it was cancelled and only the afternoon squad was conducted. Getting to the event was difficult enough due to road traffic accidents preventing players from getting to the bowl. But with only one squad it made it easier to qualify as a daily winner or runner up, but with Guy Caminsky taking to the lanes again it was going to be tough if he bowled as well as the previous evening. We it was tough, as Guy once again became the daily winner with 1943. However a local lad qualified as the daily runner up Janis Bucens who scored 1866. Tomorrow as they say is another day and we have quite a few more entries especially the afternoon squad.
