Is Alf biting that young ladies fingers, well it must be a good laugh.

Sophie and Helen, before they bowled!!!

No rivalry between the young ladies, they share good techniques for warming up, Laura particularly liked Sara's recommended Super Glue on fingers.

Sara are you sure it guarantees picking up spares?

Sam feeling pretty good after a 172+ average on the day.

Mum what was your last game?

Nick and Alistair lead the new preparation chant.

Chris is not convinced but it looks like Josh can see the shot.

7 split???

 Its the claw!!! Or maybe a new technique to prevent those awkward slaps to the face, when you really go through the shot.

Or could it be that Peter is practising his new Jackie Chan release?

LLoyd was kept up most of the night he said, that bleeding Scooby Doo.

YAC's set the trends in bowling,  you can fill in your own punch line, and send them to me via mail or publish on the forum.

I think somebody had better tell Andy that Karen got up and sat on his left.

She just knows that when she opens her eyes someone will have pinched something, Hic!

Or could this be the handicap approach for the reserve player, Cath took over from Chris.

This is the leg that went, on the first ball. Well at least Cali and Rachel are there to console Chris in her hour of need.

Look natural Carol, always poses for the camera. Doesn't do badly with her scores either.

In this hand I have an invisible bowling bag, what weight of ball do you think is in it?

Mike Raynor wasn't fooled, he told me after the bag was empty.

The managers have a quick meeting to decide what to do with next years format.

Maybe we take them on a Bumper Cars?

The results has Rachel upset, and the Yorkshire Captain could take the book out of his pants this year.

But then its back over the other side of the Pennines next year, in Lancashire!!!
