Marco in control at Gurkha

Skimmers 372 Marco Wanderers 408
Marco came away with a good win at the Gurkha Inn beating the Skimmers by 36 pins after hitting a respectable team score of 408. After drawing the first hand , a disappointing second hand by Skimmers opened the door which Marco took advantage of by hitting 60 and taking a 10 pin lead. The match was pretty much decided on the fourth hand when the Skimmers hit 48 and Marco hit 67 to go into a 30 pin lead. Try as they might the run of the pins was against the Skimmers with some good shots not getting the results they deserved and Marco played a steady game in the last three hands to secure the victory. Top scores on the night were the respective skippers with Steve Wilsher hitting 52 for the home team and for the visitors Chay Fox hit 63.
