As the new season approaches, Hustlers wamed up with a "friendly" match against the auld enemy, the Anchor Old Ladies. This looked particularky challenging this year, as the ‘Slurs were much depleted.
1st leg struggled to find form against equally shaky Anchors, losing by a mere 3 pins. 2nd leg proved more successful, with 40s from Pete & Stavros helping to turn the game around anfd give us a 1-pin lead at the halfway point.
The halftime feed and subsequent guest players then played their part as 3rd leg conceded 39 pins, leaving the anchors with a tough task. But, with Rob’s top score. they managed to win the leg – just not by enough to turn the game.
A rare victory meant the Anchors became the inaugural winners of the Jim Swan Memmorial Trophu
