Vervynck, who won the Cana- dian men's" championship in 1990,' was «etreniely» pleased with his bowiZgthat resulted in an average scoýe of 204 over the three days of competition. Hie won eight of the 12 matches held over the weekend. He was second overail, with an average of 215, after the first dut he then plummeted te seventh place after the second day f competition. His average of just 183 should have knocked him down even further, says Vervynck, but many other bowlers also had problems the second day of com- petition. "The scores were really low the second day,» hesays. Vervynck rqbounded the third day with a M average te grab the sixth and final spot on the Canadian men's teami going te, the Gaines.
