1987's Candlepin Bowling championship would be the last Championship show that was held at the Fairway lanes in Natick. The top 5 bowlers were: Dick O'Connell, Tom Olszta, Peter Flynn, Joe Tavernese and Dan Lasko. The show was very exciting with lots of marks, clutch shots, and tons of bonus money given away.Here is part 1 of the 1987 Candlepin Bowling Championship with announcers Don Gillis and Tim Lipke.Enjoy :D 1987 True Value...
Something I forgot to upload, and something that I haven't uploaded yet, Candlepin Doubles! I believe this telecase between Tom Olszta/Toni Marie Baldenelli vs. Ed Czernicki/Mary Ann Weaver took place in 1991. Enjoy :) Candlepin Doubles...

1992 was the year I basically became obsessed with Candlepin Bowling more than ever. I remember watching this show live like it was yesterday. It featured high scoring, a great atmosphere, and several legend bowlers, including Paul Berger, Tom Olzsta, Peter Surette, Tom O'Brien, and Jack Quinn.I was just at these lanes last week and am currently in 2nd place for the state tournament. :DHere is part 1 of the 1992 Candlepin Bowling True Value championship. (I do not have the first match though.)Enjoy :D 1992 Candlepin...
Who remembers Lee Buskey? I certainly do, as I remember watching this show like it was yesterday. I was 4 years old at the time, and Tom Olszta was my favorite bowler. This telecast was one of his MANY shows throughout the 1993-1994 season. I hope you enjoy part 1 of Tom Olszta vs. Lee Buskey. :D(Note: I do not have the entire show. Sorry. ) Candlepin Bowling...
A Special thanks to Anthony for lending me this tape! :)It was the mid summer of 1993, and Tom Olszta had just come off an unbelievable week before by throwing 4 strikes in a row in one game to earn an extra $2,000 in bonus money. The next week he had to face Craig Holbrook, who wouldn't be such an easy opponent. This match probably qualifies as one of the most exciting telecasts ever seen, mainly because of how well the bowlers performed, but I won't spoil anything.Here is part 1.Enjoy :) Candlepin Bowling...
This is a re-upload cause I think the other video had a still image watermark that some people might find offensive for whatever reason so here is a re-upload of part 2 of the Mixed Doubles match.Enjoy :) Candlepin Stars...
I had to re-upload this cause I accidentally cut a part out.It was March 28th of 1992, and Joe Ashline had to face Gary Carrington. The show was great, with lots of strikes and spare and GREAT attempts at cut shots.Here is part 1, enjoy :D Candlepin Stars...

From the same guy who got the WORST break in Candlepin Bowling, comes the LUCKIEST Break you will probably EVER see in the sport of the game, and this is CERTAINLY something you will never see in Ten Pin!This was from 1987 I believe. LUCKIEST Break...
It was May of 1992, and Paul Berger was on TV for the 43rd time, and he had to face off against defending champion Dave Richards. What no one was expecting that day was that Paul Berger would make history by bring the only person to hit a 500 Triple up to this day on TV. With unbelievable shots, many strikes, and a great crowd, this stands out as my all time favorite Candlepin Bowling telecast, and I'm sure you'll like it too. Here is part 1 of Paul Berger vs. Dave Richards.(Please ignore the commercials at the beginning of this telecasr)Enjoy! :) Candlepin Bowling...

1993. What a year, as it was probably one of the best years in my life when it came to Candlepin bowling. This was shot at Pilgrim Lanes in August of 1993, and the top 5 bowlers competing were: Al Johnson, Craig Holbrook, Jeff Atkins, Brian McKinley, and Tom Olszta.Here is part 1 of the 1993 Channel 5 Candlepin Bowling Championship Show.

1991's Candlepin Bowling Championship show was much different compared to previous years. It was the first year that the stepladder format was introduced with 5 bowlers in the show, and prize money was also changed for 4th and 5th place finishers. Also, Gary Casey made a REMARKABLE score earlier during the daytime show (which was taped though) to qualify as 1st seed for the Championship show. This show sure was an exciting show, as it featured many great bowlers, great shots, and clutch performances. Here is part 5 of the 1991 Candlepin Bowling Championship Show.Enjoy and R.I.P.

This was actually the very first Candlepin Bowling show that my Dad recorded for me. I was about 2 1/2 years old when this was aired.It was March of 1992 I believe, and Ed Czernicki had just beaten Steve Vadney the week before. He had to face Dave Dupuis the next week, and Dave would show why he is a great bowler who still appears on television a lot today.Here is part 1 of the match, enjoy :D Candlepin Bowling...
The date was 1994, and Tom Olszta was working on 19 straight weeks of victories. The legendary Peter Flynn came in one day, and tried to stop Olszta, but it was not Flynn's day, as Olszta would go on to defeat him by a giant amount of pins. Here is part 2 of Tom Olszta vs. Peter Flynn. Enjoy :) Candlepin Bowling...
Here is part 4 of Tom Olszta vs. Dan Lasko. I honestly think that Tom Olszta is one of the best clutch bowlers especially when he's in a close match.Enjoy :D Candlepin Bowling...
