Last night the Hustlers took on the Jibbers in the Perry Street Club Skittles League. We were on first and posted a handy score of 90 which our opponents replied with 83 so we were 7 pins up and had secured both points.
Our next hand was 88 but the Jibbers managed to overtake us by one pin and we shared the points one each. The third hand saw us again hit 88 with very consistent scoring on our part. This time the Jibbers could only manage 85 so our lead was now 9 pins and we had 5 out of the 6 points.
Our last hand was the best of the night so far as we scored 96 to leave our opponents 106 to win. We had totalled 362 without hitting any 'spares' quite a decent effort.
The Jibbers fell quite a bit short by hitting 88 but they did take the last point which left us winners by 14 points to 2 (8 points for the win and 6 for the hands)
The team scores were very close with three of us on 61, two on 60 and me on 59. The Outlaws, our great rivals also played on the other alley and lost their first game of the season, which after the Perry Winklers lost on Tuesday leaves us as the only unbeaten team in the league now.
Ale on at the Club tonight was Ruddles County which I always find rather 'heavy'.

On a birding front, whilst walking from the car park at work to my office I heard my first Redwing's of this autumn calling as they flew overhead. A sure sign that winter is almost upon us !
