Skimmers edge it at the Gurkha

Skimmers 383 Breakaways 380

A 67 hand put the Skimmers 15 up after the first hand and found themselves 19 up after two hands. But the Breakaways chipped away at that total and went into the last hand only 1 down. Breakaways throwing first had a poor start to the last hand with a couple of 4's but their joker in the pack (The Dog) got the only stick up of the night and Skimmers were looking at 58 to win. Skimmers started well and even Jeff Brown with only 26 pins to his name after six hands got a 9, it came down to the last three players Fido (Mr Chelsea) and the two Burt's Derek and Daryl needing 7's. Anchor man for the night Daryl still needed 7 to win and he held his nerve and cleaned up for a 9 to give Skimmers a 3 pin victory. Losing captain Keith Brown had no complaints and said " it was a very good game which could have went either way at the end"
