Hustlers Looking Like Chosen Ones
Following last week’s glorious victory Hustlers went into this match looking to extend our winning streak, despite our weakened state, against high-flying Chosen Champs.
First leg got us off to a cracking start, with Mart narrowly misssing out on the first 40, as the eased to a 15-pin lead. Although Gary got our first 9 and first 40, all three lost to their man and conceded the lead by a mere 2 pins at halftime.
Third leg weren’t happy with that, so Mark and top-scorer Rich set about turning the game around as they each got solid spares on their wa to their 40, with Steve narrowly losing to his man. The lead now restored, the absent (broken) Rob made a clean sweep in the raffle and all looked rosier going into the rejigged anchor leg. With bottom-scoring AS teh only one to lose to his man, this low-scoring leg proved to be really tense as it became our second losing leg But Chris and our stand-in Sayeed (Cap’n Clive) did enough to hold onto the lead and we scraped another win.
With the Cup next week and the demise of the Sinners, we now get an extended break. Time to recharge fully and come back with a flourish.

Golden Times As Hustlers Grind Out Win
With both Mo & Barry missing from the action this week, Hustlers went into this match looking to keep the winning streak going.
First leg got us off to a decent start, with Rob getting our first 9 and Lloyd narrowly misssing out on the first 40 as he faced their top score. Trailing by four pins, a steady secong leg, lead by Steve with our first 40, did enough to win the leg and claw a pin back, to keep it tight at halftime.
With landlord Alan taking the honours in the raffle, third leg stepped up to bridge the gap. Pete got our second 9, but lost to his man, while AS & bottom-scoring Rich both just beat their man. But they still lost 3 more pins, to leave the anchors chasing 7 pins for the win. And what a leg it turned out to be. With Gary adn Neil narrowly missing their 40s, it was Captain Clive who claimed top score in squeezing past his man. Unbelievably, another victory comes the way of the Hustlers.
Now on a high, we need to keep this form going as we head off next week to the Churchdown Club to take on Chosen Champs.
