Game reports.

A very close game saw The Fox beat Ab. Legion 6-0 with leg scores of 13-12, 18-17, 13-12.

Spread Eagles’ lowest total of the season (33) was just enough to overcome Penlon 4-2. The leg scores were 11-9, 8-11 (not a misprint), 14-8. For The Spread M.Phillips 12 & J.Simmons 9. J.Bowler waited till this last game of the season to add his name to the blobbers list. For Penlon E.Jeffries & C.Crawford 8 each

Regards

Tosh

p.s. J.Knight & G.Brown a.k.a. ‘Little & Large’ each managed just 1 doll each. Have you got a broken arm Graham or did you just throw as if you have ?

p.p.s. Wasn’t there some c**p calling tonight! No offence intended.

p.p.s. Will try to get through games as quickly as possible tonight (17th) but remember ‘patience is a virtue’.

p.s. S.Kinnaird & H.Harris a.k.a. ‘The Krankies’ managed just 2 dolls each.

p.p.s. I may have already said that in future I will put competition fixtures on the notice board as giving them to captains to pass on is not happening. Sometimes I think that I’m the only one reading my notes.

p.p.p.s. The top of ‘A’ section looks to be done & dusted with 2 games to go but there are 3 teams in ‘B’ section scrapping to avoid getting the wooden spoon.

Game reports.

A good game saw Spread Eagle, although outscored 42-47, beat Ab. Utd. ‘A’ 4-2. The leg scores were 15-14, 11-19, 16-14. For The Spread M.Phillips 13, J.Simmons 11, S.Kinnaird 8 & J.Bowler 7. In reply for Utd. ‘A’ D.Davies, B.Spicer & B.Duff 11 each & I.Morrison 8.

Ab. Legion drew 3-3 with The Heathens with leg scores of 9-9, 13-17, 18-11. For The Legion D.Taylor 11, D.Sapey 10 & R.Taylor 9. For The Heathens D.Holmes included a 6 in his 11 dolls, P.Soden also scored 11 & A.Woolloff 9.

Ab.Utd. ‘B’ beat College Oak 5-1 with leg scores of 13-13, 13-12, 11-7. For Utd. ‘B’ A.Gregory 10 & S.Martin 9. Last week Steve scored 10 dolls and 1 failed to mention it – sorry about that, but I have put an apology in the Oxford Mail this week. For The Oak A.Pocock, F.Tracey & D.Johns all scored 7.

The bottom of the table clash saw Ab. Utd. ‘C’ draw 3-3 with Penlon. The leg scores were 10-10, 10-13, 11-9. For Utd. ‘C’ R.Pepperell 10 & Jon Warrall 9. I.Brown thinking he was at a firing range let loose a barrage of sticks that nearly had someone’s hand off. Future callers and sticker uppers be warned. For Penlon T.Phipps 10 & M.Jeffries 8.

Old Masters beat Ab.Con.Club 6-0 with leg scores of 12-9, 12-11, 10-9. For OM J.Barguss 10, G.Barguss & M.Hall 8 each. For Con. Club T.Barrett 10, P.Barrett 9 & B.Clapton 8 – that was his 5th 8 on the trot. I think J.Simms must have played blind-fold as he failed to score any dolls. Some of you should be grateful to him as had it not been for him several of you would have got a poor write up.

Regards

Tosh

p.s. Finally got Utd. ‘B’s dolls & points sorted out. Made a mistake 2nd of Jan – sorry.

Sixers:- 3 B.Parker, 2 D.Butler, A.Bell, T.Downes, D.Holmes, 1 S.Martin, T.Ward, D.Cross, J.Simmons, P.Stone, T.Barrett, P.Barrett, D.Davies, G.Brown, C.Brind, D.Harris, G.Barguss.

The Fox beat Ab. Utd. ‘B’ 5-1 with leg scores of 15-15, 13-11, 16-12. For The Fox B.Parker 11, A.Bell & N.Weston 10 each & D.Cross 8. In reply for Utd. ‘B’ A.Gregory & K.Souch 8 each & D.Harris 7. In the 1st leg Barry needing 4 to win just tickled the doll off with his last stick this after Helen had hit the doll but it failed to fall – unlucky.

Ab. Utd. ‘A’ beat Ab. Con. Club 4-2 with leg scores of 13-7, 15-10, 13-14. For Utd. ‘A’ D.Davies 12, T.Ward 11 & B.Duff 8. For Con. Club T.Barrett 10 & B.Clapton 8.

4 man Old Masters beat Penlon 4-2 with leg scores of 9-11, 9-8, 14-10. For OM G.Barguss hit a cracking 4-4-6 & J.Barguss hit 8. For Penlon T.Phipps top scored with 7 dolls.

Ab.Legion beat College Oak 6-0. The leg scores were 12-11, 10-7, 7-6. For The Legion D.Taylor (making his first appearance ) & N.Hazell 8 each. R.Taylor throwing like Pope Benedict the 16th managed just 2 dolls. I could sum up The Oaks’ performance in just 1 word but it wouldn’t get past Paul ‘The Censor’ Stone.

Spread Eagle look well on course retain their title after beating Ab. Utd. ‘C’ 6-0 – their 3rd 6-0 win on the trot. The leg scores were 19-10, 18-9, 10-4 (yes 4). For The Spread G.Brown hit a fine 13, M.Phillips 10, J.Simmons 9, S.Kinnaird 8 & J.Bowler 7. For Utd. ‘C’ read College Oaks’ write up.

. What did D.Butler, J.Simmons & R.Pepperall all have in common tonight ?

A. They all recorded a 3rd leg blob – you would not have believed of them would you. Apart from Pepe of course.
