I've played skittles twice this week already and will be out again tonight when the Jockeys visit the Bell Inn Winsham for our first round Jubilee cup match against the Club Originals.
On Monday we were at home to the Chard Nomads in the Nomination League. We started well and were ahead after the first hand by one pin.
By the end of the second hand however we were four pins behind and 2 - 1 down on points with one hand tied. Our last hand saw us leave our opponents 70 to win and they had no trouble in getting past our score and scoring 76 and taking the match 10 points to 2.
I scored a poor 29 but still managed to beat 'my man' by several pins.
Ale on offer was Exmoor Gold.
On Thursday I was playing again, this time for the Hustlers against the Avengers in the Perry Street Club League. We again started very strongly taking a 31 pin lead and both points after the Avengers could only manage 58.
The second hand was a different story though with our opponents scoring 84 and us only 71 which cut our lead to 18 pins with the points shared.
The third hand was a tie with both teams scoring 75 and a point apiece. The Avengers last hand was only 66 so it left us with what should have been an easy target of 49 but we made heavy weather of it and after three men had played were only on 28. The 'tail' wagged though and we recovered to win with a hand of 67 and a margin of 19 pins and a points tally of 13 to 3.
This moved us up to joint 4th in the league but with a game in-hand on most of the teams above us.
The ale at the Club tonight was Brains SA Gold.
