RIDPBA Recent News 2022-2023


  • Congratulations to Jim Mulvihill on winning Tournament Series Stop #9, The 15th Annual Art Simas Memorial tournament.  Jimmy started his 5 game set 191-189-188 (568) which was only 3 pins away from the house record shared by Dennis Cabral and Norm Fleury.  Jimmy averaged 168.6 for the tournament and coasted to victory after that torrid start.  Shout out to Kevin Raymond for his excellent 2nd place score of 859.  Great bowling!  Full results can be found here.

  • Congratulations to Tom Shaw and Lisa Brown on winning Tournament Series Stop #8, The 20th Annual Norm Fleury Memorial tournament.  Going into the 4th and final game, Tom and Lisa overcame an 8 pin deficit to Eric Barnes and Lori Sullivan in true champion fashion.  Marking in 7 of the last 10 boxes, including a game changing double by Lisa, proved enough for a 26 pin victory.  Great bowling!  Full results can be found here.

  • Some very very good bowling for Tournament Series Stop #7 recently held at Town Hall Lanes.  Jim Conte posted an 808 scratch score (158 p.o.a) on way to a huge 928 talley.  This is one of the highest handicap scores in a while.  Steve Borges posted an 884 the day before to finish 2nd.  Several great scores and full results can be found here.

  • What a fantastic finish!! Tournament Series Stop #6, hosted by Dudek Lanes, finished with a total of 128 entries!br>Congratulations to Mark Parker Jr. for winning this event. Mark started his five-game block with games of 183 and 189, ended with 183 for his 5th game, and edged second-place finisher, Jim Mulvihill, by 7 pins. First-weekend leader, Preston Simpkins finished 3rd in this event.  Mark averaged a whopping 168 for his 5 game set.  Great bowling Mark!  Full results can be found here.

  • Congratulations to Mike Ferris on winning Stop #5 recently held at MAC'S BOWLAWAY LANES.  Mike also posted a 2nd place score the following weekend.  Scoring 131 pins over average (and only 5 pins less his second set), lets just say Mike was on bowling FIRE!  Phenominal bowling Mike!  Full results can be found here.

  • Congratulations to ERIC BRIGGS on winning Stop #4 recently held at MAC'S BOWLAWAY LANES.  Eric had another consistent effort with all 5 games over his average on way to his 2nd win of the season, edging out Preston Simpkins by 4 pins.  Conditions were tough for all and for the first time in many events the magical 100 pins over average was not required. Still, excellent bowling Eric!  Full results can be found here.

  • Congratulations to CHARLIE CRAW (A) and DAVE RITCHOTTE (B) on winning Stop #3, the 17th annual Thanksgiving handicap, recently held at TOWN HALL LANES.  Charlie had a runaway effort averaging 156.8 whilst Dave edged out both Adrienne Tipple and Gene Potter by 6 pins.  Great bowling Chaz and Dave!   Full results can be found here.

  • Congratulations to ERIC BRIGGS on winning Stop #2 recently held at MEADOWBROOK  LANES.  Eric had a consistent effort with all 5 games over his average and reaching that 100 pins over average (106 to be exact) that seems to be the mark to win an RIDPBA tournament stop.  Great bowling Eric!  Full results can be found here.

  • Congratulations to TONY OLIVER on winning Stop #1 recently held at WICKFORD LANES.  Tony had bookend 170+ games on way to this victory and a whopping 150 pins over average.  Great bowling Tony!  Full results can be found here.
