On Monday the Jockeys took on the Club Originals on our home alley at the Perry Street Club. We ran out winners by 3 pins which was a good result considering we had been 18 pins behind on the first hand.
I started poorly with a 4 & 5 and the alley was playing very hard with very 'catches' and few spare opportunities.
On the second hand however I had a very fortunate catch off the second pin which left me with the running three at the front which I duly dispatched for a spare. I took another 4 pins with my spare ball to make 13.
This hand proved to be the turning point as we reduced our deficit to just 2 pins.
On our last hand we left our opponents 86 to win but they came up short and we took match 10 points to 2 to maintain our good start to the season.
Ale on tonight was Brains SA at 4.2%
Last night it was back to the Hustlers for our Perry Street Club League match against the Bedrockers (hence the title of the post) . I again started badly with a 4 & 6 but as the rest of the team were on good form we took the hand by 10 pins and both points.
On the second hand we extended our lead by hitting a 93 hand which put us 35 pins in front and all the points. On our third hand we tied one of the scores so it was carried over to the last hand but we fell short and gave away two points.
We finished the match by winning 14 points to 2 to keep up our unbeaten start to the season.
The ale on offer tonight started with the last of the Brains SA but then switched to Shepherd Neame's Spitfire at 4.7%
