Round Two of the Middlesea League is proving to be the highest-scoring in the history of the competition, as the agreeable lane oil pattern used serves to enhance the scoring pace of many top-flight bowlers.

Ramis smashed their own one-week-old record as they took apart Turu’s Knights in an 8-0 victory, while there were other high-scoring victories for Globalair against Gladiators (6-2), Fina against Royal Shock (6-2) and PharmaVet over HSBC (8-0).

Ramis are now two points clear at the top but it wasn’t so much the one-sided scoreline that stole the show, but rather their brand new record for a team series thanks to a formidable 2,850 tally.

Incredibly, the league record they topped had been previously set by them, in the week 12 win over Gladiators.

The unlucky Knights actually rolled the second best series of the week (2,573) but were simply up against the wrong opponents on the night, as the games fell 937-875, 986-815 and 927-883 all in favour of the league leaders.

Ramis veteran Paul Baldac-chino also took the highest series to date, rolling an inspired 772 tally (279-257-236).

Bowlers of the week: Paul Baldacchino (Ramis, 772); Melissa Swift (PharmaVet, 662).
