Woodmen chop down Marco
Milborne Woodmen 427 Marco Wanderers 424
In a closely fought match, the Woodmen edged out Marco by three pins. Throwing first Marco opened up with a steady 61 leg which the home team responded with what turned out to be their worst score of the night of 53. The second leg saw Marco struggle to 55 and in reply the Woodmen pulled five pins back. The third leg was tied with scores of 59, before Marco hit their best leg of 71 which the Woodmen couldn't’t match but they did hit a solid 62 leg to give the visitors a twelve pin lead. The lead was extended to fifteen in the fifth leg after scores of 62 and 59, but the match was turned on its head in the sixth leg, when Marco could only manage 56. Sensing a chance to get back in the match, the home side grab the opportunity with both hands lead by a stick up from Tony Brown (15) and some solid back up scores they managed to hit 70 and reduce the lead to one pin going into the final leg. A solid if unspectacular last leg of 60 by Marco left the Woodmen a victory target of 62, and after first four players had hit 7,9,3 and 6 it looked like the match was heading the visitors way. However, scores of 8 and 9 left the final pair needing 20 to win and Ady Climo seized the moment by hitting a peach of a first ball for a round eight and held his nerve to convert the stick up and hit a score of 15 to all but seal the victory which the last man duly did to give the Woodmen a well earned victory. Top score for the Woodmen was Tony Brown with an excellent 69 and for Marco Vaughan Penney with 60.

The third hand was tied as both teams hit 56, while on the third hand Wide Boys could only manage a 54 hand to let the Imps back in , and a 62 hand from the home side put 14 pins between the teams.
At this point it looked liked the game could swing in favour of the Imps, but the Wide Boys struck back with a 72 hand with stick ups from P.Lenaghan (12) and captain Andy Fowler (15) to finally kill of the home side who could only reply with a mediocre hand of 52 to give the visitors 34 pin lead.
Wide Boys drove home their superior scoring with a 73 hand with stick ups from S.Legg (15) and Andy Fowler with another 15, while a stick up from the Imps captain Terry Gosney (14) gave the Imps a 60 hand and Wide Boys a 46 pin lead.

3 C A went from bad to worse in the sixth hand hitting a meagre 49 but Skimmers were also under performing and could only manage 54 extending their lead to 13.

Semi final heartache for Imps
The Imps made it to the semi final of the Blackthorn British Skittles Championship on Saturday. In the first round the Dorchester side beat the New Forresters by 4 pins, it looked as if they were heading out early but the Bridgewater team were unable to reach the target set by Imps.
In the quarter finals against Weston St John the Imps again looked as if they were out, but finished with a big hand to clinch their place in the semi final by four pins.
In the semi final Imps looked as if they were through against Bath City as they went 23 up after 3 hands, and even though they lost the fourth hand they went into the last hand 16 pins up, the format of this match was different than normal as Bath had won the toss and chose to play one player at a time so their top man would throw then Imps top man and so on, and the start of the last hand their first three players all had stick ups to bring the game very close and the Imps could not match their scores and lost by 2.
Bath City went on to win the final and were worthy champions.

Lee leads Allsorts to victory
Allsorts 479 Marco 466 (Cup 1st round)
In a cracking game of skittles, which edged one teams way then the other, it was Allsorts that came out on top by 13 pins over Marco. After throwing first Allsorts got off to a slow start by setting 60, which Marco replied with a solid 70 leg to take an early lead. However the match turned quickly around with the home team finding their range and hitting legs of 75,77 and 74 with some quality skittles to take a 22 pin lead after four throws. The lowest leg of the night for Allsorts saw them set 58 in the fifth hand and Marco sensing the opportunity to get back into the match came back with a 72 leg to reduce the deficit to 8. Another leg of 72 by Marco replying to a 70 leg by the home team saw the teams enter the last leg with just six pins between them. A solid leg of 65 by Allsorts set Marco 72 to win, however a 4,6,6 start scuppered their chances of victory and they ended with their lowest leg of 58 to hand the Allsorts a well deserved victory. Top score for the home team was anchor man Lee Haime with 66, but the top man on the night was Eric 'Showbiz' McConkey who hit 75 including two floppers.

After throwing first Allsorts got off to a slow start by setting 60, which Marco replied with a solid 70 leg to take an early lead. However the match turned quickly around with the home team finding their range and hitting legs of 75,77 and 74 with some quality skittles to take a 22 pin lead after four throws. The lowest leg of the night for Allsorts saw them set 58 in the fifth hand and Marco sensing the opportunity to get back into the match came back with a 72 leg to reduce the deficit to 8.

Imps get ready for Weston
This coming Saturday Dorchester team The Imps will be hoping to go all the way and win the Blackthorn British Skittles Championship, which is held at the Sand Bay Holiday Village, Weston Super Mare.
They will be competing with 15 other teams to become British Champions, a crown that their Dorchester rivals Skimmers have won twice in the past.
Captain Terry Gosney is well aware of the challenge ahead " Skimmers achieved something special winning it the first two years of the competition, and they like to remind us of their achievement, so now we have a chance to emulate them but I have been to the last two years of the finals and it does not suit double handed players so we will have to be at our very best to win the competition"
The Imps thought they were out when they only finished third in the group stage, but they got through as one of the best third place teams. They then beat Somerset side Merlins over two legs and clinched their place at Weston Super Mare by beating Masters of Bridport home and away.
These are the twelve players that have appeared for The Imps during the ten games in this years competition.

Wide Boys win close game
Milborne Woodmen 412 - 421 Wide Boys
Throwing first at The Royal Oak Wide Boys hit a solid 61 hand that gave them a 3-pin lead. A reasonable score of 57 followed on the second hand, however Woodmen replied with two stick-ups and a total of 67 to move 7 in front. Wide Boys then hit their worst hand of the game (54) that included three 5's. Unexpectedly Woodmen hit their worst hand (47) of the game as well to leave the game all square after 3 hands.
Buoyed by pulling pins on the previous hand Wide Boys then hit their only 2 stick-ups of the evening on the fourth and fifth hands that helped them to scores of 64 and 65 respectively. In complete contrast to their third hand Woodmen pulled 4 pins on Wide Boys 64 by hitting 68, and followed it with a 59 to leave Wide Boys 2 up. On the sixth hand Wide Boys hit a 56 that Woodmen could only beat by 1 pin to trail by just 1 going into the last hand.
Wide Boys then hit their most consistent hand of the night, a 64 without a stick-up, that left Woodmen 66 to win. They were always struggling to reach this target after hitting three 6's in a row and eventually finished with 56 to give Wide Boys a 9-pin victory.
Matt Slade top scored for Wide Boys with 60 and T.Prior hit 65 for Woodmen.

No stopping Slinky
3 C A 456 v Allsorts 433
All Sorts threw first recording a hand total of 57. 3 C A looked to be heading for a similar score but inform captain Malc "Slinky" Slade had other ideas and with a first ball "flopper" hit 17 to give 3 C A a lead of 11.
All Sorts had a great chance to hit back in the second hand with stick ups for Lee Claridge (10) and Lee Haime (12) but both players failed to get the big scores they would have hoped.
For the second week running 3 C A saw the return of an "old boy" in Martin "Olly" Holbrook and he soon made his presence felt hitting 15 on the second hand and helping to extend the 3 C A lead to 17.
The third hand saw 3 C A increase their lead by just one pin and the fourth by a further 6 pins helped by a Rob Smith 10. Olly Holbrook recorded a further stick up 13 in the fifth hand causing the team to think that Slinky would not be adding to the holiday fund this week but needless to say he had other plans and came back with 13 in the sixth hand. All Sorts countered with a 14 from A Fulbrook in the fifth hand but a poor sixth hand 54 meant that 3 C A led by 32 going into the last hand.
All Sorts ended the game with a very good 77 with stick ups for Martin "Mostin" Murray 16 and Darren Palmer 14. 3 C A replied with 68 including a 15 for Phil Slade to record a second win of the season by 23 pins.
