Day 3 : Saturday 7th June
Doubles started today! Nicki & Jenny bowled at 9am, Jemma & I were bowling at 1.30pm so we stayed back at the hotel, had a later breakfast and headed down to the bowl about 11am to watch the last game and get ready for our block. Nicki & Jenny had a steady start finishing 2361 as a team. After speaking to the girls & Chris it seemed they were both hitting the pocket lots just struggling to carry the corner pins.
Nicki Ainge 183 200 180 213 149 219 = 1144
Jenny Billingham 182 172 227 210 226 200 = 1217
The weather has been great here the last couple of days so I took advantage of the sun and did all my stretches outside, on the grass, in the sun - Happy Days! I decided against changing any surfaces as all th eballs looked ok during Official Practice! Practice looked good for us both except our thumbs been a little swollen from the heat, I managed to open up my thumb slug enough but Jemma was still struggling to get it off her hand cleanly.

The first game is one I wanna dwell on, I missed 2 single pins (10pins) and Jemma hit her ankle twice and with the ball still catching quite a bit we scraped together a total of 309. Things didn't look good! We took time after the first game to re-group, we decided to forget the 309 and start again! As you can see from our scores we definitley got fired up and the scores were much better! We had a great time on the lanes, the atmosphere was brilliant and between Jemma, Myself & Coach Chris Buck we worked together to keep fighting and make the right moves at the right times! We finished on a total of 2492 which is a good starting block for the next 6 games and we all left the lanes feeling very happy.
Jo Allsebrook 174 212 212 232 256 193 = 1279
Jemma Smith 135 191 235 238 190 224 =1213
We managed to find somewhere proper to eat last night, a lovely cafe restaurant in the shopping mall! It was an eventuful night with lots of laughs and giggles about ridiculous things but it helped to relax us after a long day bowling!
I'm down the bowl this morning watching Lisa & Zara in their first block of 6. Jemma & I have the early squad tomorrow so it seemed a good idea to get used to the early start - sensible! I am having a very clever few days - Check me out!!!
