Robles dominates Friday Night Bowling

Another perfect game roller ruled one of the weekly local bowling leagues, as Dannie Robles nearly swept the individual awards in the recently concluded 17th season of the PBA-Capital Bowling Center Friday Night League.

Robles, who played for second runner-up Jos Corp., topped five of the six individual categories including high average, high series with handicap, high series scratch, high game with handicap, and high game scratch.

The veteran lefthander topped the high average after rolling a 200.25 average. He was followed by another CBC regular, Richard Leong of OML, who wound up with a 198.88-pinfall norm.

Robles rolled a 764 and 743 to rule the high series with handicap and high series with handicap, respectively. Mario Mayuga of 8Gam3ler/Aguilar Law Office finished second in the latter with his 749, while Robles’ teammate Orly Ebuen was runner-up in the former with his 699.

With his near perfect game, Robles took the high game with handicap and high game scratch after submitting scores of 301 and 299, respectively. Ronald Epan, of Voltes V, was a far second on both occasions with his 295 and 279.

The only award that eluded Robles’ grasp was the most improved bowler category, who went to Sandy Gonzales of White Coconut Corp. Gonzales bettered his previous average by 27.61 pins to win the plum.

Gina Sablan of 8Gam3ler/Aguilar Law Office nearly pulled a Robles in the women’s division, as she won four of six categories.

Sablan topped the high series with handicap with her 733, the high series scratch with her 587, the high game with handicap with her 270, and the high game scratch with her 224.

Winning the high average award for women was Alexia’s & Friends’ Ron Cal who was good for knocking down 160.37 pins per outing, while the most improved women bowler award went to Diana Jacutan of Bagets. She improved her game by an average of 18.06 pins per game.

Individual awardees took home between $10 and $35 for their achievements the past season.

In the special team awards, Robles’ Jos Corp. won three of the four categories at stake. Jos. Corp. won the high game scratch after knocking down 1,102 pins. It was followed by Pogey Poynts’ 1,064.

It also took home the high series scratch after a 3,057-pinfall performance followed by Friday Night League champion United International Corp., which rolled a 2,963.

High series with handicap also belonged to Jos Corp. after the team knocked down 3,261 followed by 8Gam3ler/Aguilar Law Office’s 3,259.

8Gam3ler/Aguilar Law Office won the only other category Jos Corp. failed to win, bagging the high game with handicap following a 1,171. Jos Corp. took runner-up honors with its 1,171.

Teams that won the special awards pocketed between $30 and $40.
