Management fail at last hurdle

Dorchester mixed side the Management failed to qualify for the grand finals of the Blackthorn British Championship after losing their 2nd leg match away to Bath side Our Gang by 27 pins.
It was always going to be a tough task after the Management only managed to win the 1st leg by 2 pins.
The Management found it hard to adapt to the Bath alley which did not suit double handed players as the balls were small and rubber, which the home side bounced when throwing them, while the pins were plastic and small.
But after a poor start they did manage to get back into the match but after a poor fifth hand by the visitors the game was over.
Martin Gifford was top score for the Management, while Mel Gosney plucked a flopper out of somewhere on the fourth hand.
Amazingly with the big gaps and small balls there were no oxo's, although there were some low scores the lowest being a 1 from Wendy Burt.
