Three skittles matches again this week. On Monday the Jockey's were at home in the Three Counties League against The Magpies from the Kings Head in Chard. It was not a great night as we had a 'scratch' side out and consequently lost by 2 points to 10.
On Wednesday it was back to the Hustlers in the Perry Street League and the second round of the Knockout Cup. We were paired against the Bedrockers who are not having the best of seasons having only won one previous match and that was their first round cup game.
It was a close game however with us just managing to keep in front and finishing by winning by 14 pins.
The cup matches are all played over a two week period and so we were back at the Club on the Thursday night for the Semi-Final. This time our opponents were the Perry Winklers who have been playing well this season. We started the game first and it was just the same as the previous night with us hitting 74. The Perry Winklers responded with a score of 80. We couldn't get going tonight and again scored 74 with our opponents scoring 78 to leave us 10 down.
We again hit 74 on the third hand but for the first time we pulled a pin back when they could only manage 73.
Our last hand was the best for us of the night with 79 to leave the 'Winklers 71 to win. We were resigned to losing as it was a very get-able target but were delighted when they returned to say that we had won by 3 pins as they'd only hit 67. So next week it will be three matches again when we take on our great rivals The Outlaws in the Final on Friday.
