Europe regain the lead

THE European pairing of Paul Moor and Tore Torgersen took the opening game of the Saturday afternoon session.

They made the most of a couple of American errors to build a good lead and then held off a late charge from the US duo of Doug Kent and Bill Hoffman to win the encounter 236-215.

With the overall score tied up at three points each, a good start was crucial for both sides but Kent disastrously missed the ten pin in the third frame to leave it open which put his side at am immediate disadvantage.

Then Hoffman left his colleague a very tough four pin split which despite his best endeavours, he could not complete.

With the Europeans continuing to strike, it left the Americans an uphill struggle. They closed the match with five consecutive strikes but Moor and Torgersen had too much in the bank to let the victory escape them.

“The two open frames really settled us down,” said Paul Moor after the match.

“We kept the pressure on with four strikes and although they came back at us, we held on.”
