5th LEAGUE vs Winchester Hills

Having narrowly lost to Winchester in the first match, the Captain decided to strengthen the team by dropping Feathers.

Chris went on 1^st vs Big Albert fresh from his near success in the lower leagues. However CmC’s legs ran out in the 5^th to lose 2-3

Silver Fox on next against Alan, plunged to 1-2 down and 2-8 in the 4^th (the crowd started to fade away in disappointment). However seeds of doubt were sown with a few choice winners and the 4^th was won 10-8. With Alan demoralized, the 5^th was then a formality for a 3-2 win.

Ryan then came up against a clever player (Darryl) and lost 0-3 which left “baldy” Jeff needing a 3-0 for a points count-out.

Jeff played possibly his best game of the season and did win 3-0 so down to a points count.

Before counting we offered Winchester a draw (in the interests of inter-club spirit) as we didn’t want to win such a close and hard fought match. But after much debate amongst their team they decided to risk the count-out. DAMN, they won by 7 points.

So………..closer than the first round but no cigar.

Result 8-10
