Last night the Jockey's played skittles over the border at the Squirrel Inn against the Chard Nomads. The Nomads, Last years league champions are currently using the Squirrel Inn whilst their home alley, the Cotley Inn is being refurbished.
We were put on second and the Nomads came in with a score of 108 on their first hand.. We then replied with 101 but were unable to take the points. The Nomads kept up the pressure with another big hand of 102 which we then matched sharing the points.
Their last hand was 99 giving us a slight chance with 107 required to win. We gave it a good go but fell short by two pins finishing on 105 but taking the last two points.
I maintained my good start to the season hitting 48 which included my third 'spare' of the season.
The Pub though had a rather 'down-at-heel' feel to it with many of the beers off as they had run out. There was one ale left though with Branscombe Vale at 4.7%
