After a bye in the 1st rd and and losing the last 3 league games we needed a win to boost moral.

League Game 9 home vs Six Amigos

Our game last night was dedicated to Graham Old who sadly lost his battle to Motor Neurone Disease in this last week.
Graham or "Coach" as he was known to Liquor and Poker skittle team, had a vast knowledge of every skittle alley as well as being able to recall his exact scores and dates he played on those alleys giving us vital inside info for the games. He will be sadly missed and our thoughts and prays go out to all his family.

League Game 9 - Home vs Six Amigos
\A new set of pins graced the alley last night as we arrived. No more tiny pins we now had man size pins. This still did not help us as we lost again at home, our 4th home loss on the trot. It was close until the last hand when Six Amigos came down with a whopping 5¹leaving us to hit 60.
Martin the Landlord was back and food was back up to scratch with sausages, chips, onions and bread.
Guest Sticker tonight was Aaron Clark (younger bother of our Tom).

League Game 7 home v Jacket Spuds

We started off the night well pulling 16 pins in the first 2 hands but the Spuds came back talking 2¹pins back. We pulled a couple back but then lost another 10 on the last. we are now on 4pts from a possible 14. Food tonight was chips, beans, sausages (we think) and bread. But a surprise announcement by one of our team mates top the night off in style.

League Game 3 - home vs 3 Cheers 3

Well our 1st league loss last night. Small pins again which kept all our scores low. Last year we were hitting high 40s to low 50s, last night Dex was top score with just 38. 3 Cheers 4 came and beat us ending our unbeaten run of 2 wins from the first 2 games of the season. Overall, good atmosphere last night, all in high spirits once we were off the alley. Chilli was the food of choice with chunky chips and rice, no complaints on that.

03-09-09 League Game 1- Home vs Stoke Rangers

A shock to start with as we walked into the alley only to see the small pins were on the alley, but we played on and with a couple a spares managed to gain our first Div ¹scalp. A good night was had but with only the small pins up no one took the rollover tote which was standing at £14.00 ( you need to hit 50 or above to win it)
Bring on our next game.
