Bees sting Marco

Marco Wanderers 479 Brewers Bees 481

In what was a match of fluctuating fortunes, the Bees got off to a solid start winning the first hand by 6 pins and followed this up with an excellent 78 hand to stretch their lead to 23 pins after two hands. Having been stung into action, Marco hit back well, with four consecutive hands of over 70 to turn the match on it's head and took a 19 pin lead going into the last leg. However the Bees showed their class and produced a fantastic last hand, with three stick ups on the way to an 81 hand to leave Marco needing 63 to win. A failure to secure a stick up on the last hand cost Marco dear as they fell 2 pins short of the target. For the Bees, Andy Dunford lead the way with an excellent score of 79 with great support from Tony Hewitt with 67 and Dave King with 65. For Marco Pete Bolton lead the way with 67.
