Back at home, with 5 consecutive wins under their belt, the Hustlers were looking to extend their winning streak as they took on Ullenwood CC. Whose bowling would win the day?
Eager to keep the run going, the Hustlers got off to a bright start, with AU’s consistency bringing him a spare-free 40, while Clive’s "Hustler’s spare" denied him a 40. But 1st leg still racked up an 8-pin lead and we looked to be well on track. The light started to fade a little though as, much to the delight of Lewis, TC opened 2nd leg with a beaver and we started shipping pins. But another spareless 40 from Lewis, with able assistance from Mark, helped slow the rot and we turned around still 3 pins up at the end of the leg.
3rd leg then stepped up to try and stop the rot, but it didn’t look good as Stu opened his account with a 1 and the pins started to look like favouring the cricketers as we lost the leg by 11 pins, leaving the anchors with it all to play for. But our anchor was suffering this week and, despite JT’s 40, couldn’t do enough, dropping a further 8 pins, to see our first loss for a few weeks. If only Stu had got 68, we’d have won!
Next week sees us visit the Saracens. Can we get our season back on track?
