Lee leads Allsorts to victory

Allsorts 479 Marco 466 (Cup 1st round)

In a cracking game of skittles, which edged one teams way then the other, it was Allsorts that came out on top by 13 pins over Marco. After throwing first Allsorts got off to a slow start by setting 60, which Marco replied with a solid 70 leg to take an early lead. However the match turned quickly around with the home team finding their range and hitting legs of 75,77 and 74 with some quality skittles to take a 22 pin lead after four throws. The lowest leg of the night for Allsorts saw them set 58 in the fifth hand and Marco sensing the opportunity to get back into the match came back with a 72 leg to reduce the deficit to 8. Another leg of 72 by Marco replying to a 70 leg by the home team saw the teams enter the last leg with just six pins between them. A solid leg of 65 by Allsorts set Marco 72 to win, however a 4,6,6 start scuppered their chances of victory and they ended with their lowest leg of 58 to hand the Allsorts a well deserved victory. Top score for the home team was anchor man Lee Haime with 66, but the top man on the night was Eric 'Showbiz' McConkey who hit 75 including two floppers.
