Tough at the Top

Breaking News

It was nip and tuck aplenty through the final game of the short oil section of the men's division of the European Champions

Cup here at the Roll House bowling center on the outskirts of Ankara on Wednesday evening.

A tussle for pole position between Petri Mannonen of Finland, Italian Marco Reviglio and Arturs Levikins of Latvia with less than ten pins separating the three, saw the spotlight eventually shine on Reviglio, 45, from Genoa, leading the field with 1775, an average of 221.88.

It took an average of 209 to stay in the leading octet, a place necessary to hold after 24 games for the cut on Friday night.
