Chilly is back

Puddletown Wanderers 409 v 3CA 469

This first game of the season saw the awaited return of the one and only Andrew "Chilly" Childs whatever his skittling skills he certainly adds to the 3CA noise level!

Puddletown Wanderers took a first hand lead of 3 pins thanks to a stick up 12 by last man Tony Belt. Two 15s by Phil Slade and Rob Smith in the second hand resulted in a lead of 10 for 3CA. Solid skittling in the third hand of 8s & 9s culminating with a 16 from captain Malcolm Slade gave 3CA a hand total of 74 and an overall lead of 26 pins.

Further stick ups for Phil Slade (12) in the fourth hand and Steve Prior (11) in the sixth saw 3CA go into the last hand 46 pins in front despite a spirited sixth hand rally by the Wanderers who hit 65 (Martin Tucker 12 and Luke Rainey 11) they still failed to reduce the 3CA lead.

A last hand 14 from Malcolm Slade gave him the highest score (70) and an opportunity to start saving for the next cruise!!!

Luke Rainey 59 was highest scorer for Puddletown Wanderers.
