Away at the Hop Pole, Hustlers were angling to do a rare double over the Fishers – tempting bait indeed.
1st leg set a good standard, with Rob top scoring to set up a 3-pin lead against our close rivals. But 2nd leg weren’t impressed and, with Stu finally beating his man this season (and getting his maiden 40) and Gary getting another 40 with a fine pair of 9s, the lead was stretched out to 16 pins at the halfway point and hopes of success were rising.
3rd leg was steady, highlighted by Steve getting our only spare of the night as he equalled top score. But that wasn’t enough to stop us dropping 4 pins. Yet we were still ahead and the anchors only had to hang on to the lead. And it was looking good as both anchor legs battled it out. Until the last hand. Needing a mere 12 to make the game safe, Neil looked to regain Barry the Brasilian Beaver as he left it up to AS & Cap’n Clive to make certain of victory, which they fortunately did!
Jannerland calls this weekend as we head off to Plymouth for our annual trip, returning just in time to take on the Flyers at home on Monday. A win may see us safe in a promotion spot. Will we go up?
