At maximum depletion this week, Hustlers faced off against Victory A in a cup match at Victory Club. A chance to get our season back on track.
First leg saw Lloyd collect his first beaver and possession of Barry on his way to bottom score. Although our lowest leg score to dte, we only dropped 8 pins, staying within reach of Victory. Second leg were to fare a little better, showing signs of recovery, despite dropping a further 6 pins to leave us trailing by 14 at the halfway mark.
Improvement continued with the third leg, with Clive getting our first 40, as they only dropped a further 3 pins, setting the anchors an interesting total to claw back And more improvement was to come, as Neil opened by gaining possession of Mo with a Hustler spare. Chris capped his 40 fith our first 9, while Neil’s real spare helped him equal Clive’s top score, but still lost to his man, who scored a superb 50 on a hard alley. Top-scoring leg also became our first winning leg of the night, but they couldn’t quite do enough, and we fell to another defeat
But we can now focus on the league as we return to the Suffolk next week to face Flyers next week.
