  • Are you ready: The Lucky Strike Duplays Bowlers event allows fans to play the game while having fun.

    The second edition of Duplays’ bowling league starts next week and if you want to smash some pins then there’s still time to sign up.

    Titled as the ‘Lucky Strike Duplays Bowlers’, the competition, in association with Strike Lucky Cafe and Summer Breeze, will begin on Monday, October 20, at the Khalifa International Bowling Center in Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi.

    Players from 14 year of age and above can sign up for the six-week competition. Each squad will consist a maximum of seven players, with a team of four participating in a match.

    Depending on the number of teams, there will be two groups, with the top two advancing to the knock-out stages.

    The finals will be on November 24 and attractive prizes will be awarded to the overall winners and runners-up. All matches will take place every Monday between 19:00 and 21:00, with each team playing once a week.

    Duplays are no strangers to holding sporting competitions and leagues as they are the UAE’s largest sport and social club with over 5,000 members. Among the popular sports, they organise badminton, football, volleyball and cricket events.

    And Salman Raisi, operations coordinator at Duplays, explains the reason why a bowling league was chosen.

    “It’s part of our job to have different sports so that people can play a wide variety of disciplines that they may have never played in. Bowling is a great activity and you don’t need a lot of experience to play.”

    He added: “This isn’t the first Be there: The tournament is being held at the Khalifa International Bowling Centre, Zayed Sports City. People of different ages took part last year and the feedback was great. I received a lot of emails from the players saying that they really enjoyed themselves and want to take part when it restarts.”

    And he’s encouraging people to sign up and experience this “fun and social” sport.

    Raisi, said: “If you’ve never played bowling before it doesn’t matter – no experience is needed. People of any level can apply and it’s very easy to learn, and they will soon enjoy playing.

    “This is a fun, social and recreational competition with the focus of having fun because we want people to enjoy their time when they play their matches, and I’m sure they will.”

    Entry fee is Dh500 per team. If you want to register, you can sign up by visiting the Duplays website and search for ‘Lucky Strike Duplays Bowlers’.
