Game reports.

The Heathens beat Old Masters 4-2 with leg scores of 12-14, 18-7, 16-13. For The Heathens T.Downes 12, M.Sheridan 11, D.Holmes 9 & A.Woolloff 8. For OM M.Hall 11, J.Barguss 8 & G.Barguss 7.

Ab. Legion beat Ab. Utd. ‘A’ 6-0 with leg scores of 16-11, 12-11, 14-13. For The Legion C.Brind 11, N.Hazell 9, D.Sapey 8, N.Tait & P.Ealey 7 each. In reply for Utd. ‘A’ P.Wright & I.Morrison 11 each & T.Ward 7. B.Duff throwing like a partially sighted Australian sheep shearer managed just 1 doll.

Ab.Con. Club beat College Oak 6-0 with leg scores of 14-6, 13-9, 17-10. For Con. Club Brian ‘Cracker’ Clapton 12, J.Sims 11, P.Barrett 10 & T.Barrett 7. For The Oak B.Hudson top scored with 9 dolls. F.Tracey obviously could not see the doll as he didn’t hit it once. I’m beginning to wonder if he can see letter box’s as an awful lot of letters go missing every week.

Ab.Utd. ‘B’ beat Penlon 4-2. The leg scores were 12-14, 15-9, 14-11. For Utd. ‘B’ A.Gregory hit 11 dolls. S.Martin also hit 11 but included a 6, K.Souch 8 & D.Harris 7. For Penlon T.Lach & C.Crawford each hit 9 dolls.

Ab. Utd. ‘C’ caused an upset by beating 4 man Fox 4-2 with leg scores of 10-8, 11-9, 7-14. For Utd. ‘C’ I.Brown 9 & J.Warrell 7. In reply D.Butler 11, B.Parker included a 6 in his 10 and R.Nicholls 8. It was pointed out to me last week that The Fox have not won the ‘A’ Section since the 1997-98 season, in which time they have finished runners up 6 times. I’m sure they will be looking to rectify that.

Regards

Tosh

p.s. The league has a very strange look about it at the moment but it is early days yet.

p.p.s. Captains, I need competition entries and monies tonight please.

p.s. Tonight we kick off with the Threes followed by the Captains Cup, both of which will be played down to the final. It would be great if those people not playing or collecting cups on Finals Night (11th) could turn out to lend their support. Finally, I hope you have enjoyed my light hearted comments but if I have offended anyone I would just like to say – ‘I aint bovvered’.
