KUWAIT CITY, Feb 18: Once looked upon as the favorite whipping team of the tournament, the vastly improved strikers of Napesco once again proved that they are now a team to reckon with and a strong championship round contender after rolling to their second victory in as many outing at the on–going 2016 FTBK–Bahrain Exchange Company Tenpin Bowling Tournament being held at the Cozmo Bowling Center in Salmiya.

Joining Napesco in dominating their second week rivals were defending champion World Class, Siete Pares 2, Siete Pares 1, DMDA Bowleros and the Indian pin busters of Power Station. Meanwhile despite a losing stint, week 1 leader Klasmeyts NLB kept the top spot on the leader board with Siete Pares 1 remaining well placed in second position.

 For its second week stint the rampaging Napesco keglers went up against D’ Islanders another team who likewise is showing a lot of promise as a potential finalist and title contender. Spearheaded by Marilyne Mariano and Rolly David, D’ Islanders grabbed the lead as they trounced their opponents in game one via an 834–748 count.

But with Jowie Concepcion, Ronald Ferolino, Fredy Marzo and Joseph Balo on board, Napesco was able to wrest the lead 1658–1629 through their convincing 910–795 victory in the high scoring game two of the match.

Fielding in the same foursome in the next game, Napesco broke loose from the tight contest by eking out another 821–733 win to go up by 117 pin falls 2479–2362 with a game left to bowl. This time lead by Edgar Pascua and Bobby Carambas, D’ Islanders tried to reverse the outcome of the match but their 826–756 victory in the final game of the match fell short of what is needed for them to win the match.

With Jason Baker and Thalia Ashley at the helm together with Bill Stiles, World Class succeeded in overhauling the lead of Rock N Bowl after a superb performance in game four which handed them a 927–740 victory.

 After being booted out of the final round in the previous season, Siete Pares 2 have something else in mind this time as they eased past tournament pace setter Klasmeyts NLB Corporation 3171–3048.

Undaunted by the mesmerizing performance that their rivals dished out in the opening round, the Siete Pares 2 crew of JR Angeles, Dorcas Sansone, Edwin de Mesa, Mario Santos and Alex Nodalo took advantage of the slow start of Klasmeyts NLB in cruising to easy 797–733 and 759–677 victories in games one and two.

Suddenly looking like the team they were in week 1, Klasmeyts NLB led by Emma Gatus, Rudy Zablan, Nelson de Leon and Chris Bulacja finally broke into the win column with an 858–776 decision in game three.

Still comfortably ahead in total pin falls after the third game, Siete Pares 2 went on to win the match by taking the fourth and final game 814–780.
