Looking to break our stand-in skip’s poor record, Hustlers headed for Hatherley, hoping for a rare win.
JT led the way on first leg, opening with 9 to slot our first 40 of the night and keeping us within 6 pins. Second leg proved to be the best of the night, despite Rob being the only one to miss his 40. With 9s all around and Pete top scoring, they turned the game on its head to leave us ahead by 6 at the halfway mark.
Third leg became the first to not hit a 9 as the game swung yet again towards the Boys. So the anchors set about reeling the Celerys in to regain the lead. And we witnessed the tightest-fought leg of the match, with the Celery’s eventually sneaking it by a mere 3 pins, to take the game by 9.
We’re back at home next week to take on Starbrights after our seaside break (Weymouth is on alert), hoping our skip can return and restore some winning ways.
