Last night the Hustlers played our second game of the season against the Skylarks on the Perry Street Club number two alley. The alley played no better than Monday when the Jockeys played there and was again a close fought contest until the final hand.
We were chasing this time and our opponents started with a score of 72 pins which we passed with 79 and both points. The next hand was a closer affair and we lost 2 of our 7 pin lead when we only hit 75 to their 77 and shared the points one each.
The next hand was a disaster for me as I managed to score a 'duck' and a 5 but we still managed to overtake the Skylarks score of 67 by one pin and again shared the points one each.
Their last hand was only 68 so it left us with 63 to win which we breezed past with a score of 95 that included a 'flopper' (all 9 pins down in one ball) for Nick, our stand in captain and meant we won the game by 33 pins and 14-2 on points to maintain our winning start to the season.
