Congratulations, Bonsai Bowlers!

The first half of Monaca UMC’s bowling season is behind us, and the Bonsai Bowlers are at the top of the table! Winning the first half means they are guaranteed a spot in our Championship Roll-Off on April 30th.

Check out our little congratulations short on YouTube (below). Clockwise from top-left of the thumbnail image are members of the Bonsai Bowlers: Linda Hill, Larry Parks (captain), Kathy Glovier, and Evan Haun.

The final standings for the first half of the season are:

  1. Bonsai Bowlers
  2. Weeping Willows
  3. Crabby Apples
  4. Terrible Tumbleweeds
  5. Sycamores
  6. Saplings
  7. WalNuts
  8. Ginkgos

(Can you guess the league’s theme this year?)

Best wishes to all the teams in the second half of the season!
