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.
