Snow Fun @ the Robins

The first snows of a new decade saw the Hustlers take on the Jets at the Robins Club for the first of our return matches.  Would it be a whitewash?

Despite the weather keeping some players from attending (and Stu on the start of his extended sojourn in the Colonies), we managed to field a full team and 1 reserve on the night.  Following, a rejigged 1st leg put in a mixed performance (with Rob joint top-scoring) to hand over a single pin in front.  2nd leg were steady, but stretched the advantage out by a further 8 pins.

3rd leg added another 2 joint top scorers, with Lewis chalking up a superb spare in the process, to extend the lead by 3 more pins.  Anchor then followed on with an indifferent performance, losing pins, but still managing to keep a winning margin overall.

A great start to a new year, hopefully indicating a better 2nd half of the season.  We finally return to the Suffolk next week for a run of 4 home games - a chance to establish a winning streak.
