Old Masters struggled to a 4-2 win over Ab. Con. Club with leg scores of 5-6 (yes 5-6), 13-10, 13-12. OM could not believe their luck when Con. Club set 6 in the first leg, and Con.

Ab. Utd. ‘B’ drew 3-3 with Ab. Con. Club with leg scores of 11-11, 9-10, 19-12. For Utd. ‘B’ T.Ward included a 6 in his 11 dolls, which delighted his grand-daughter Lili-Mae, who was watching. D.Holmes 8, D.Bowler & D.Davies 7 each. For Con. Club J.Sims hit a cracking 14 dolls & J.Castle 8.

In the bottom of the table clash Penlon recorded their 1st win of the season. It was a 4-2 win over Ab. Utd. ‘A’ with leg scores of 7-8, 10-8, 9-8, something Utd. ‘A’ absolutely ‘eighted’.

For OM J.Barguss top scored for the 5th week running, this week hitting 9 dolls. T.Downes & A.Woolloff 8 each. G.Bargus managed a ‘Nelson’. That’s 1-1-1 – ( 1 eye, 1 arm, 1 b**l), & J.Lessa…J.Lesac… J.Lessi…Jason managed just 1 doll.

Tosh

p.s. Despite last weeks note the raffle was again short of money.

p.p.s. Don’t want to go on about the poor sale of the rolls, but last week with over 50 people present we managed to sell just 18 – ( and I bought 2 of them ) – come on lads you know we rely on this extra income.

Game reports.

Ab. Utd. ‘B’ beat Ab. Legion 6-0 ( their first 6-0 defeat of the season). The leg scores were 14-12, 12-9, 17-12. For Utd. ‘B’ D.Bowler & D.Davies 12 each, D.Holmes & I.Morrison 8 each. The Legions 33 dolls was their lowest total of the season. For The Legion C.Brind 9, N.Hazell & D.Sapey 8 each.

The Fox beat Ab. Utd. ‘C’ 4-2 with leg scores of 7-8, 15-13, 14-11. For The Fox B.Parker 12 & N.Nuttall included a blob in his 7. For Utd. ‘C’ A.Gregory & S.Martin 8 each.

College Oaks lowest total of the season (34) was enough to overcome Ab. Con. Club 4-2. The leg scores were 13-8, 9-16, 12-11. For The Oak A.Pocock 9, S.Enock & L.Clapton 7 each. For Con. Club T.Barrett 10, J.Castle & P.Wiblin 7 each.

An embarrassingly poor performance by Old Masters was just enough to beat Penlon 4-2. The leg scores were (you won’t believe this) 7-6, 9-6, 7-10. For OM J.Barguss top scored with 8 dolls. OM’s 23 dolls was their lowest in the last 5 seasons ( I have the records to prove it ). For Penlon T.Lach top scored with 7.

Spread Eagle beat Ab. Utd. ‘A’ 6-0 with leg scores of 12-7, 10-8, 16-10. For The Spread G.Brown 10, J.Simmons 9 & J.Bowler 7. For Utd. ‘A’ Jon Warrell top scored with 10 dolls. J.Bussey managed just 1 doll. You need to get yourself down to Specsavers Joe. If you want a lift, us Old Masters are running a mini-bus.

What a strange night of Aunt Sally. A night that saw J.Simmons failing to hit double figures for the first time this season. Unlikely blobs for the likes of G.Barguss, N.Nuttall, N.Weston & B.Clapton ( well maybe not so unlikely for Brian ), and an absolutely appalling performance from Old Masters. ‘ It’s a funny old game’, that’s why we will all be up for it again this week.
