CHARLES REINKE EXTENDS STREAK TO 10 STRAIGHT

1st - Charles Reinke's run extended to 10 straight as he tied brother Thomas for the club's Top Expert spot, both players now with identical 76.7% winning records, and 46 wins each.  For the 2nd week running, Charles double blanked Richard Lauder in their closing game match up, this time Charles winning 449-355. Charles had "only" 5 bingoes this week, but nonetheless averaged 442. He will have the elusive $5 bounty with him next week. Good luck trying for successful hunting against Charles's winning streak.

2nd - Thomas Reinke only had one sub 457 game, as he would only bingo late with the beautiful find ELENCHI on his penultimate play vs. a pesky defense minded Richard Lauder, a game Thomas did lose 355-387 on his way to a 3-1 +581 night and 2nd position. Charles was bingo king with 10 tonight.

3rd- Peter Schmiedicke continued to effulge with mega bingo games, this time a 9 bingo outing including a 9 letter HEFTINESS, GIRASOLE, TOPSIDER and DOGGERS, all resulting in a final 3-1 +321 3rd place finish.

SUE GOLDSTEIN TOPS FIVE INTERMEDIATES AT 3-1

1st - Veteran Sue Goldstein wove three straight wins before dropping her final game with June Scott in a tightly controlled 265-271 defensive battle.  Sue pulled out a 3-1 +39 night and the top record in the Intermediates.

2nd - Harwinder Dowd took 2nd with a fine 2-1 +91 record, losing only her 3rd game when expert Helen Flores bested her 361-312. Harwinder searched in vain in that last game for a go ahead bingo play whilst her formidable opponent sealed Harwinder's "game coffin" with Helen's bingo HEARSES.

3rd - June Scott opened with a huge 385-331 refutation win against Helen Flores while on her eventual way to a 2-2 -31 3rd place finale.

Renato beat all opponents, his only loss to Peter in their rematch. Renato was also bingo king with 13 awesome bingos inlcuding the word of the week: TIRRIVEE--a tantrum. His other awesome bingos included HIDALGO, DASTARD,  PRIMEROS,  TRANSEPT,  RIDOTTO and VESTIGIA.

CHARLES RUNS UP WINNING STREAK

1st - Charles Reinke's 5-0 +546 was the evening's outstanding performance. With his winning streak at six straight, he is closing the gap on the club's top player, brother Thomas.   Charles played some fine bingos also in the 13 he landed in his five game sweep, including OVENBIRD, APOSTATE, NOSEDIVE, and the E laden REFEREED.

2nd - Thomas Reinke finished at 3-1 +328, losing a nail biter 371-373 to Richard Lauder in his only sub 400 score of the night. Against Peter Schmiedicke, Thomas lay down the word of the night, MOTLEYER in his 471-365 game with Peter.

3rd - Susan Vergeront played 7 bingoes over her 4 games, with 3 of her games scoring over the elusive 400 point level to finish at 3rd at 3-1 +117. She had the misfortune to be facing Charles Reinke in a game when Charles bingoed four times. Susan watched LOOSENER, SIRVENTE, APERIENT and the all too appropriate NOSEDIVE...bingoes by Charles in his 528-331 score there.

SUE GOLDSTEIN TOPS TEENSY INTERMEDIATE FIELD

1st - Sue Goldstein traded bingos and blows with Barb Besadny in the opening round, eventually losing 339-405 despite her bingo TRAINERS, to finish the night at 2-2 +13 and in the top spot in the two-field Intermediate group.

2nd - June Scott's 1-3 -250 gave her the penultimate position. June and Sue enjoyed a 3-peat as they played each other and had many a friendly laugh along the way in games #2,#3 and #4.
