Candlepin Bowling - Peter Flynn vs. Brian Fuller (1)

Special Thanks to Brian Fuller Jr. for lending me this tape!! :D

It was mid 1991, and Brian Fuller had just de-throned Tom O'Brien the week before. He had to face a VERY tough opponent in Peter Flynn and it ended up being a very exciting match. I bowl all the time with Brian himself and his son as well and they are unbelievably good bowlers.

I hope you enjoy the match as Don Gillis makes the call. Here is part 1.

:D

He especially deserves it for making such a comeback after his illness.
