Massive wins for top teams Aercomms, Fina First

The Middlesea Valletta Life National league has already progressed through five from 19 weeks at the Eden SuperBowl.

Leading teams Aercomms and Fina First are again engaged in their now familiar tussle for the top spot. Both enjoyed full-point victories this week, Aercomms doling out a huge thrashing to strugglers Globalair Travel while Fina made short work of bottom side The Clan.

Royal Shock stayed third with a 6-2 win over PharmaVet as the top three are slowly, but surely, pulling away from the pack. There was a similar win for fifth-placed Inlusion against Turu's Knights. The match between Ramis and HSBC ended in a four-all draw.

Aercomms claimed the highest team series to date, destroying Globalair Travel with a superb 2,649 joint effort.

Game one was their best of the set, 710-900 the scoreline, and they went on to make it 0-4 with a solid 819-879 win in game two.

Globalair had given up the ghost by game three, which Aercomms inevitably won 709-870 to complete their massive win.

Champions Fina were also runaway winners against The Clan, shooting a 2,618 series in the process, including an incredible 959-team game, also a season record to date.

Fina were no less than 245 pins ahead after game one which they won 873-628. They doubled their lead with a 786-718 result in game two, and then came their huge 959 game in game three, putting The Clan's decent 759 effort in the shade. Fina's Mark Spiteri set another two season-to-date records, rolling a 278 third game, which rounded off an excellent 741 series.
