In alien territory (well, Bishops Cleeve), could the Hustlers set a high enough score to beat the Cream?
What an exciting time for our first away game of the season. Losing the toss and following on, we got off to an indifferent start, with Dobbin getting his first beaver of the season (but he'll have to wait until next week to take charge of Barry, as Steve left him at home) and both sides failing to break the 100 mark.
In time-honoured fashion, our 1st league game of the season saw us setting. An indifferent start soon changed as 1st leg set the standard for the rest to follow, with a 13-pin lead. With the reappearance of AU, 2nd leg did their best to lose that lead, but still handed over a lead of 3 pins. With a returning Lewis making his Hustlers season debut, 3rd leg reestablished the 13-pin lead, becoming the top-scoring leg in the process. Incredibly, and with a good deal of help from the Jets, our anchors proceeded to add a further 16 pins to the lead, giving us a 29-pin vict
