No stopping Slinky

3 C A 456 v Allsorts 433

All Sorts threw first recording a hand total of 57. 3 C A looked to be heading for a similar score but inform captain Malc "Slinky" Slade had other ideas and with a first ball "flopper" hit 17 to give 3 C A a lead of 11.

All Sorts had a great chance to hit back in the second hand with stick ups for Lee Claridge (10) and Lee Haime (12) but both players failed to get the big scores they would have hoped.

For the second week running 3 C A saw the return of an "old boy" in Martin "Olly" Holbrook and he soon made his presence felt hitting 15 on the second hand and helping to extend the 3 C A lead to 17.

The third hand saw 3 C A increase their lead by just one pin and the fourth by a further 6 pins helped by a Rob Smith 10. Olly Holbrook recorded a further stick up 13 in the fifth hand causing the team to think that Slinky would not be adding to the holiday fund this week but needless to say he had other plans and came back with 13 in the sixth hand. All Sorts countered with a 14 from A Fulbrook in the fifth hand but a poor sixth hand 54 meant that 3 C A led by 32 going into the last hand.

All Sorts ended the game with a very good 77 with stick ups for Martin "Mostin" Murray 16 and Darren Palmer 14. 3 C A replied with 68 including a 15 for Phil Slade to record a second win of the season by 23 pins.
