The GC&SU men’s team of Marcus Knowles, Rich Hardwick, David Krogh, John McAfee, Daryl Leslie and Andy Russell had a slow start with a team score just above 800 pins.
On Friday morning the GC&SU bowling team was fired up and with excellent bowling reached the magic number of 1000 pins. Knowles had the best game of 279; however, the men’s team did not qualify for the national finals.
