CEBU CITY, Cebu — As expected, senior bowlers showed grit and experience as they reigned supreme in the Sugbuanon Bowlers United (SUGBU) Bowling Tournament with 86-year-old Orly Enoveso capturing another shootout tournament title at the SM Seaside City Cebu Bowling Center.

Fondly known among SUGBU regulars as 'Tatay Orly' and a mainstay of Cebu’s local bowling community, Enoveso proved once again that he still has the mettle to win even as his decades-long passion for bowling has kept him active on the lanes.

The octogenarian bowler's triumph follows a string of victories by fellow senior bowlers, among them 85-year-old Bebie Mauro, who clinched the shootout title just a week earlier, while 82-year-old Dory Enoveso also made headlines with her own tournament win just weeks prior.

In the finals, Enoveso, who qualified as the top seed in Division C, finished with 216 pinfalls—boosted by 45 handicap points. He edged out former national team member and Division A top qualifier Jomar Jumapao, who settled for second place with 201 pinfalls.

Showing flashes of his vintage form, Enoveso strung together multiple “turkeys”—three consecutive strikes—to secure the title. Before advancing to the finals, Enoveso topped the Division C qualifying round with a four-game total of 745 pinfalls.
