It was the start of the second half of the season and Foreign Legion went 2 better, than their previous fixture against Queen Charlotte, with a 24-2 win. The Out of Towners went 1 better with a 18-8 win over Grand Central, as did The Arms beating Wolves Z 21-5. Andy Boys took revenge on Town Central, having previously lost in the reverse fixture, winning 15-11. Out of Towners now lead by 9 points over The Arms, closely followed by Andys Boys. Town Central have opened a 17 point lead over Grand Central, with Foreign Legion only 6 points behind in 6th but a game in hand. Wolves Z are in 7th, in no mans land, and its still close between Daves Railroaders and Queen Charlotte, with only 5 points separating them, but Railroaders have 2 games in hand.
There is still no separating Andy Jurd and David Moule, now on 42 Legs Won for the season, both only dropping 3 legs so far and have opened a 7 leg difference on the chasing pack. Andy Harvey leads the Most Tons competition with 89, averaging 9.89 tons for game, and 8 clear of David Moule in second. This week we saw Alan Vines hit 12 tons and Andy Mitchell 11. Colin Denyer was close behind with 10. Not known for his 180’s, Kev Parsons hit another 3 this week, and Andy Mitchell hit 2. The Highest Checkouts didn’t come close to Stuart Giddings 161 from last week but regardless, Rob Doran finished a leg on 120 and Andy Mitchell 100. There was a 13 darter from Kev Parsons but Paul Walker remains top with 11.
Next week is the Les Brant Singles competition at the Wolversdene club. Please aim to arrive for 7.45pm so we can toe the oche at 8pm.
