Hustlers come out of the Shadows in time for Christmas
Back at home this week, Hustlers were looking to round off 2011 and the 1st half of the season with a win. What would Santa bring them?
A clean slate from 1st leg, saw them set a 6-pin lead, with TC hitting our only spare & Lofty our 1st 40. With Clive just missing out on a 40, 2nd leg stretched our lead by a further 3 pins to leave it tight at the halfway point.
Despite Gary getting our 2nd 40 of the night with a cracking 9, 3rd leg failed to break the ton, dropping a whopping 13 pins in the process to leave the anchors to pull the game back out of the hat. And so we saw a seesaw leg ensue. And with all 3 reaching 40 (& JT top scoring), it all came down to the vewry last hand. With an epic score (& just Rob losing to his man), they showed great consistency to win the leg by 9 pins and hand us a very nice Christmas present indeed.
There's no game now until 9 January, when we return to the Suffolk, looking to get the 2nd half of the seasons off to a winning start.
