Bermuda’s bowlers face an uphill battle at the International Bowling Federation (IBF) World Cup after ending the opening day of competition in 30th place in the overall team standings.
A combined aggregate of 4,239 pins at the Max Munich Bowling centre leaves the Bermudian contingent chasing the pack, though standout moments on the lanes offered plenty of individual encouragement.
David Maycock spearheaded the effort in Group B, Pool 1, hitting the ground running on lanes 1 to 12 with an electric 257 in his opening game. Maintaining a steady hand throughout his set, Maycock closed the day on 2,175 pins to claim fifth spot in his pool and stay firmly in contention.
In Group A, Lamar Richardson navigated a testing shift on lanes 13 to 24 in Pool 2. Richardson found his strike in game two with an impressive 244, eventually posting a 2,064 total to finish tenth in his pool and anchor Bermuda’s combined score.
Action resumes tomorrow in Germany, with Bermuda looking to harness individual form and mount a climb up the leaderboard.
