3 C A 419 v Skimmers 426
Previously unbeaten in the League 3 C A lost to Skimmers in a low scoring game at Charminster.
3 C A threw first and spirits were high when second man Rich "Beaker" Bird had a flopper with his first ball finishing with a 17 and reaching a hand total of 68. Skimmers were not to be outdone and the hit back with 71 including a 17 from Darryl Burt to take a lead of three. Skimmers extended their lead to 12 in the second hand with stick ups from Matt Burt 12 and Shaun Baker 13.
3 C A pulled back 2 pins on the third hand but should have done better had Phil Slade 12 and Steve Prior 11 capitalised on their stick up chances.
The middle hands saw some very indifferent scoring from 3 C A although one highlight was a flopper from Chilly Childs (15) in the fifth hand !! (Its true) Daryl Burt was again on target for Skimmers in the fifth hand with a second stick up 13.
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.
In the last hand 3 C A could not manage the stick up that might have given them a last gasp chance of snatching victory despite several good chances. Skimmers not hitting the winning pins until last man Derrick Knight threw.
