Pirates’ members, draped in their membership t-shirts, kept their eyes on the jack, while maintaining their stance on the mats to ensure that they bowled correctly.
Kibi Ramatsuma, in his second year of bowling, said the friendly competition was tough, but fun. “Today’s competition was difficult because I played against a man who was last year’s champion. I did my best, although I ended up losing against my partner.”
