League Game 16 Away vs 3 Cheers 4

Coll, Chappers, Ade, Brit, Hyder & Bod.
Not a great start - 1¹down after the 1st hand, but we pulled one back on the 2nd only to lose that ¹on the 3rd hand.
Midway and still in with a chance to turn the game around.
We lose 4 more on the 4th hand but gain 3 on the 4th so its all down to the last.
3 Cheers 4 hit a surprising 37 and that leaves us only to hit 50 to win.
The scene is set, the other team has stayed in the alley…
Shaky start with Coll hitting a 4 but with Chappers 7 and Ade with a 14 spare we are back. Brit hits an 8 and sets the top score of 54. 17 required with 2 left to play.
The tension mounts and Gra hit a 5 leaving Bod to get a spare…
Bugger - good effort spare chance had but finished with a 9.
We lose by only 3 pins but it might as well been 30.

14-01-10 Home vs Under Pressure

First game of the New Year and the beginning of the 2nd half of the season.
Now is the time to turn our season around and start our fight for survival in Div 1.

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).
