Imps comeback at Gurkha

The Imps 416 Slingers 411

For four hands Slingers played some of the best skittles seen at the Gurkha this season, with hands of 63, 63, 58, and 64 they went into a 9 pin lead. There were no stick ups in their hands but plenty of 8's and 9's as they played the alley superbly, The Imps throwing first kept setting the Slingers decent targets as they hit 58, 60, 59, 62 saved by Martin Haimes 15 (the only stick up of the night) on the third hand.
The game changed on the fifth hand The Imps again hit a good hand of 64 but this time there was no reply from Slingers as they slumped to their lowest hand of the night hitting 51 putting The Imps 4 pins up. The sixth hand was won by Imps who went into the last hand 7 pins up, on the last hand Imps hit 57 to leave the Slingers 65 to win, Slingers could not get the stick up they needed although there were chances right to the end and the game was won by 5 pins in Imps favour.
Martin Haime was top score for The Imps with 59 while Andy Frampton was top for Slingers with 56.
