Imps win at last

Dewlish Monsters 322 The Imps 350

The Imps finally got a win in this years Blackthorn British Skittles Championship with a win away to Section A rivals Dewlish Monsters.

Phil Goodland started the second hand with a 14 stick up and the visitors went on to hit a 65 hand as Monsters again hit 56 to put the Imps 13 pins in front. The Imps struggled on the third hand and only hit 54, but Monsters failed to capitalize on this and only hit 53 themselves to lose 1 more pin. The fourth hand was were the game was won as the Imps hit a 60 hand with Keith Wyatt hitting a 13 stick up, the home side had their worst hand of the night and could only total a hand of 43 to go 31 pins behind. The Imps hit a 56 hand on the fifth hand, and when Andy Crabb started with a 13 stick up for the Milborne side it looked as if a comeback was on, but a hand of 61 could only pinch 5 pins. The Imps finished with a 55 hand to leave Monsters with the almost impossible task of hitting 82 to win the game, as it was they finished with 53 to give the Imps a 28 pin victory. Andy Crabb was the star man of the night hitting 52 for the home side while Keith Wyatt was top for the Imps with 48.
