Love (it:) Labour's Lost
The most contrived title in the history of the Hustlers' website is an unworthy reference to the Hustlers' first win of the season, the victims being Temperance 12 at the Labour Club.
Both teams struggled on a wooden alley with uneven pitch but the first leg stayed fairly even until the Hustler's meagre last hand of 10 gave the opposition a lead of 9 pins.
It was the next three up who effectively won the match, with Andy (43) and Clive (42) instrumental in converting a first leg deficit to a second leg lead of 15 pins, although Temperance 12 did oblige with their lowest leg.
Third leg started badly but steadied after a 9 spare by Gary. However the meerkat is becoming as rare at Hustlers as AU on a Tuesday night so Gary went home empty handed. Led by a fine 41 by Rich, who continues to pulverise his opposite number, the leg finished with honours shared.
And so to a very wobbly last leg which was filled with players who should know better behaving badly. Only the rock steady JT finished with any credit, with the Hustlers winning the leg by 3 and the game by 18.

Mo's solicitors (Simple & Simple) issued the following statement at 10.00 today:
"Mo would simply like to point out that the only nine-spares of the season so far have occurred when the acting Mo-minder was absent. For the minder to have left a spooky looking stiff lying on a pub table would have contravened both the Furry Thingy Welfare Act and Rule 9.0 of the CAMRA** code of conduct (dontscarebeermats.com)"

Rumours that Mo has been
Rumours that Mo has been katnapped have been dismissed as meer speculation. The reason he wasn't at last night's game was that he had to deal with a flooded lounge. If other Hustlers ever find themselves in a similar predicament, Mo recommends that you visit mopcarethecarpet.com
So the most contrived match
So the most contrived match report title ever on the hustlers website is matched quickly with the most contrived joke in a reply posting :-)
The anchor is full of men who should know better behaving badly?!? Did the anchor pull pins or what? Come back TC, we need less contrived titles and more accurate punditry right now, methinks. :-0
Well done guys. Win ugly will
Well done guys.
Win ugly will do to get started :-)
Statto returns next week - but I can make no promise of accuracy as that doesn't appear anywhere in out Constitution!!! but there should also be some averages at last to keep you all complaining. But will Mo finally appear?
