A Buff night for the Hustlers
Thu, 19/11/2009 - 00:47 — TC
Lowly Hustlers faced top of the table Duke of York away at RAOB. Could a new moon rising and the Leonids showering really be good omens, or harbingers of doom?
Yet again following, we got off to a great start, with 40s from AU & Wallsy establishing a stunning 24 pin lead. 2nd leg held their own as Lewis stopped us losing more than 3 more pins, before handing the baton to 3rd leg. A steady performance saw the leg tied, leaving the anchors with a 21 pin lead to defend.
They did their best to drop early pins, but held on to go into the final hand needing just 3 pins to win the game. Clive protected his 40 average, while Rob managed to grab his maiden 40 of the season as they dropped 3 pins to give us an 18 pin victory over the league leaders, despite conceding 2 spares during the game.
Back to the Suffolk next week as we seek to extend our winning streak. Don't forget the Tony Clay Memorial Shield front pin contest at CACSSA (17 December) - http://www.cacssa.co.uk/skittles/tcs_2009.shtml - closing date for entries is 30 November.

Just went to the CACSSA website to sign up for the TC memorial competition, and noticed that you have to be a member of CSSC or CACSSA to take part. So that's me out, and I'm guessing a few more of you too (Lewis, Gary for sure). I wonder if a word to CACSSA from our Chairman about how we want to support the event in TC's memory but can't might see a few more Hustlers able to play?
