Once more at home, this time against bottom of the table Old Golds, Hustlers were looking to end their losing streak. Could we regain our pre-Christmas form at last?
1st leg looked OK as they began the match, but that soon changed as we began to drop pins. Despite a valiant 40 from Lewis (with our 1st 9 of the match), Old Golds pulled out a 15 pin lead. 2nd leg struggled along to our highest leg score of the night, managing to pull back 4 pins in the process, leaving the game finely poised at halftime.
3rd leg once again struggled to 100, with Salty setting our lowest score of the night. With 2 spare 9s against us, we dropped a further 19 pins to leave the anchors with a mammoth task. Rob hit our 2nd 40 of the night and Neil our 2nd 9, as they equalled the top leg score. With the Golds dropping pins, hope was emerging for the ‘Slurs. But it wasn’t quite enough and we failed to win once more!
We’re back at the suffolk on Tuesday for an away game against Ullenwood CC. Hopefully the sea air of Bournemouth will work some magic on us this weekend and we can come back refreshed and re-energised for the challenge ahead of us.
