Bowled Over
Looking to get a win in the bag, Hustlers faced Cheltenham CC in the first home match of the new season.
1st leg had the privilege of being the first to use Lofty's shiny new balls. Cap'n Clive just missed out on a 40 as we got off to a slow, but steady start, finishing 11 pins down as their middle man hit a spare & a 9 spare. 2nd leg couldn't match the score, but scrabbled pins back as none of the 3 lost to their man,and Steve collecting our only spare of the night. leaving us only 5 down at the halfway point.
3rd leg brought us our top score & total, thanks to Rich's 43, but conceded another 2 pins along the way, leaving the anchors with only 7 pins to claw back. Despite JT's 42 (with a 9 spare making him the inaugural holder of our meerkat - Pete is still to name him), we fell yet further behind as both Neil & Rob beat JimBob to next week's bench
Its the Temperance 12 at the Labour club next week - maybe they can be our first victims.
