Still the Cross of St. George

The English still dominate the standings of the 7th Cockatoos Paphos Tournament in Cyprus but with an even more higher

standard score than that set yesterday by Darren Cundy, so the England flag holds pole position.

Nightwatchman with 1151, the Ilkeston bowling technician destroyed that total in the 17:00 squad Thursday evening with the tournament's first perfect game in its seven-year history and completed his five-game stint with 1255, another record as this is the first year for the tournament to have five qualifying games instead of the previous six.

Fellow countryman Stuart Williams still holds on to second place in the overall standings, the burly PBA player taking the day off today but will be aiming to take over the lead tomorrow when four squads are due to take to the lanes.

Local player Andreas Christoforou, 19, from nearby Limassol is third with 1139.

Scores are pretty good in this well-maintained and friendly center and Sunday's final rounds will be bound to be close encounters of the tenpin kind.
