The third game with the Wrington Vale League took place at the Winscombe
C-C on Saturday, This was the third match between the two teams this
year and I'm very pleased to say the Weston Team retained the cup so
well done to all the players, The Weston League would like to thank the
Winscombe Cricket Club for the use of the club for the match. The three
games we have played this year has been played in the right spirit with
banter from both sides but friendly banter that is what skittles is all
about. The first set went to the District 190 to 174, A Machin of the
Wrington side had a very good score of 54 the Weston side had Andy
Collard with 46 and Malcolm Teague Wayne Mousley and Dave Jones all
hitting 48, The second set belonged to the Wrington team winning it by
182 to 169, but as in the first set the highest score was hit by the
losing set that was hit by Jason Francis with a excellent score of 56
and it turned out to be the highest score of the game, the Wrington team
had two scores of over fifty in this set that was J Fear with 53 and C
Bannerman 52, that took us into the last set and like the previous two
sets the highest individual score went to losing set that was hit by J
Wall of the Wrington Vale team with a very good score of 54, but with
the game in the balance the Weston players with steady skittles they
took the set 186 to 182 so the Weston League side won the game by 7 pins
overall. Phil Dean &Pete Blackwell both hit 46, Graham Wilcox & Steve
Barker both hit 47 for Weston.
Wrington Vale (A Machin./J Wall 54) 538, Weston & District (J Francis
56) 545.

The gap has narrowed !
Nomads 12 - 4 win away to Coach House A saw Julian
Tanner hitting a good 57. Cabot Bittermen had a close match for the

12 - 4 result had Captain Nathan Millett and Mike Cousins each getting
54 for their teams. In a low scoring match Worle Club defeated
Langford Rovers 14 - 2 and Rovers are looking like they need a doctor
in attendance. Both Captains came off in the Rascals and Unionist A
match. Malcolm Day got 57 for Rascals which was bettered by Phil
Dean's 58 for Unionist A. Rascals won 14 - 2 and the gap at the top is
now only 11 points although Rackies have a game in hand. Steve Crandon
hit 53 as Fraser Lads hung on to third place with a 14 - 2 win against
Warriors. Warriors only seem to have one player, Darrin Chappell top
scored again with 50.
DIVISION TWO(all results)
Anchors are sunk !
Classified as a surprise result Bristol Stragglers
beat Anchors 16 - 0 away with George Raines hitting 53 for Stragglers.
Regent Sports overtook Anchors following a 14 - 2 win away to
Churchill Club with Andy Saunders hitting a 50 for Sports. Dab Hands
dented Crown Inn's promotion hopes by beating them 12 - 4 at the Crown
by 6 pins. Mark "use your eyes" Board hit 53 for Dab Hands.
Flintstones are now only 3 points behind the Crown after beating
Hillbillies 16 - 0. Pete Davis hit 54 for Flintstones who could be
heading in the opposite direction to Hillbillies. Andy Evans got 55
for Dropouts as they beat Worle Century Club 12 - 4. Homefield Rangers
recorded a 12 - 4 victory over Ginger Mingers which not only widened
the gap at the top to 33 pins but dropped Mingers to a relegation
spot. Roger Hoskins and Ray Day each hit 50s for their teams.
DIVISION THREE(all results)
The pack hunt Pin Hunters !
The top two lost this week as Lord Nelson A moved
into third place with a 15 - 1 stuffing of Cabot Probables who were
second but dropped at least two places. A bigger surprise must be
Admirals beating top team Coach House B 16 - 0. Admirals second high
points win in succession has moved them away from the basement area.
Geoff Tucker's 51 for Strays and Dan Young's 54 for Crusaders ended
with a 5 pins, 11 - 5 win for Strays. Hutton B moved up the table with
a 14 - 2 beating of W.Anchors Away with John Mathias top scoring for
Hutton with 52. Boro Arms B continued their depressing season with a
12 - 4 loss at home to Peckers. Pin Hunters moved back to second after
a 12 - 4 win against Weston Legionaires. Only 14 points seperate
second placed Pin Hunters from eighth spot.
DIVISION FOUR(all results)
Top team put second team in their place !
Nellies
Heroes showed why they are going up with a 16 - 0 hiding of White Hart
Harriers in spite of John Bebbington's 50 for W.H.H.. Earlybirds
may have created a record this season. Their 113 pins defeat at home
to St. Happys may be the highest gap this season but It still only
gave St. Happys 16 points. Uphill Steamers had a good 14 - 2 win at
Prince of Wales with skipper Kevin Stratford and Alan Newland each
getting 51 for their teams. Captain Brian Hill hit 52 for Shepherds
but it didn't stop them losing 16 - 0 to Beer Masters for whom Wez
Ruby got an excellent 58.
HOSPITAL CUP
SEMI FINALS.
DIVISION ONE
Worle Club v W.M. Racketeers B
The first two sets were close (2 pins difference)
but as usual Rackies third set ran away with it and the fourth added
to Worle Club's pain. Martin Taylor's 50 helped the difference of 61
pins which would have been worse without Simon Rawlins 49.
Rascals v Young Lions
In a lower scoring match Rascals easily beat Young
Lions by 53 pins with James Milsom's 40 being the highest score on the
board.
DIVISION TWO
Worle Century Club v Crown Inn
Second placed Crown Inn were more than a match for
Worle Century Club but the gap was only 23 pins, less than expected.
Chris Fulbrook hit 41 for Crown Inn whilst Neil Apperley and Colin
Cleeves each got 38 for the Century Club but it spelt the end for both
Century Club sides.
Ginger Mingers v Homefield Rangers
Not much between the teams in this game but Homfield came
out on top.
DIVISION THREE

Mathias top scored for Hutton B for the second time in the week with
44. Mark Orchard got 40 for Boro Arms B.

Survivors v Nellies Heroes
Division toppers Nellies Heroes easily disposed of
Survivors by 11 1 pins which wasn't helped by Survivors being one
short. Lee Stocker hit 48 for the Nellies.
All the finals are on Tuesday March 23rd and venues have already been
provided. It's current first versus second in the first and fourth and
possibly second whilst bottom will be playing fifth in the third.
