JEDDAH: MC Hammer bristled with energy despite the long layoff due to the holidays and came a point shy of the perfect score on the way to the Team of the Week award during the 10th session of the Inter-Company Bowling League (ICBL) 25th Conference at Jeddah Lanes in Mosadia Plaza here.

MC Hammer cemented its place at the top of the team standings by posting the top tally of 55 points.

Rival Kulisap ni Moe denied Hammer a perfect 56 by winning the second game but it ended the day a far second on 45 points.
