NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 5th-place Nellielocks and the 3 Spares will chill with 8th-place Bowlingstar Galactica (hcp 11). Nellielocks are expected to perform well and sweep the series; while the Galactica is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 2nd-place All Belt, No Buckle will test their mettle against 1st-place 4 Play (hcp 36). The Belt might perform well and win the series; while 4 Play ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 4th-place Handicrappers (hcp 4) will tussle with 3rd-place Sub Parre. Handicrappers will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Sub Parre will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 6th-place The Incredibowls will challenge 7th-place Big Pin Pin (hcp 39). The Incredibowls are predicted to perform well and win the series; while Pin Pin is anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
