KUWAIT CITY, Sept 22: Three weeks into the 11-week elimination round of the on-going FTBK-DOLLARCO Tenpin Bowling Team Tournament being held at the Cozmo Entertainment Center bowling lanes in Salmiya, the Indian Keglers of Power Station and the DMDA Bowleros architectural designers emerged on top of the current leader board after winning their scheduled match over separate opponents. Moving into contention after decisively thumping their respective rivals were the entertainment magnates of Cozmo Salmiya and Klasmeyts/NLB Corporation. Also in the winner’s circle this week Siete Pares 1 and defending champion K2E2.

For the second consecutive week, the DMDA Bowleros grabbed the weekly high series award after their sweeping win over the off form OGBL/Abannte Pin Crackers.

Carrying the rest of the scoring load for Power Station in this outing were Uly Menezes, Fatima Sequiera and Jason D’ Souza.
