Still looking for a win in 2013, Hustlers returned to the Suffolk to take on table-topping Cannonballs Elite.
Top-scorer Pete set a good example with our first 40 of the night, ably backed up by Lewis, although TC was unlucky enough to steal Barry off Rob as he took our only beaver of the night. But the Elite proved a littl more consistent as they snuck out a 5-pin lead. 2nd leg proved much better, with Cap’n Clive’s 40 and lewis claiming our only 9 of the night. Losing by only 3 pins, we were left trailing by 8 at the midpoint. Hustlers managed a clean sweep in the "raffle" – only fair, as we had paid much more into it.
3rd leg finally saw Swayner beat his man for the 1st time this season, but even he couldn’t stop us losing a further 12 pins. And so it was down to the anchors to fight off the defeat (and save Lewis £5 in the process). Rob lead the way with our top BYM, withb all 3 narrowly missing out on a 40. And they became our 1st winning leg, by a single pin. Sadly, another defeat, but our luck will change afte a good rest.
We travel to Hatherley & Reddings CC in February to face British Legion Extras. A chance to do the double over them.
