Alleyman reports on the matches for 2nd and 3rd April 2012.

That's it then, another season finished. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to the losers. Don't forget to get your registration forms in for next season and let the Management if you aren't putting a team in.

TOP DOG Fitting that just when they get promoted from the third the highest score this week should be from Ed. Flint, skipper of Ginger Mingers with a 61 on the Golden Lion alley.

Division One ( All results). Rascals are Runners Up !

Dropouts v Rascals

Rascals 12 - 4 win put them in second place, a long way behind top spot. Dropouts were second for quite some time but ended up fifth. James Lane's 55 for Rascals was just beaten by Captain Ricki Major's 56 for Dropouts.

Homefield Rangers v Worle Club

I'm sure Peter Hucker would have been happy with fourth place at the start of the season. Losing 14 - 2 to Worle Club it meant the Club would avoid the drop and the late Mike Davis would have been pleased. Chris Thorne's 54 for Worle was bettered by one by John Andow for Homefield.

Coach House A v Unionist A

Coach House signed off from the first with a 12 - 4 win by only one pin.

W.M. Racketeers B v Young Lions

Not surprisingly Rackies signed off with a 16 - 0 win and 276 points, the highest since they hit 308 in the 2008/9 season. Geoff Stone hit 52 for the top score.

Crown Inn v Nomads

Crown Inn finished third and Nomads are third from bottom with a back match to play. Pete Blackwell's 60 probably made the difference.

Fraser Lads v Flintstones

The Cheddar clash saw Flintstones feeling generous to Fraser Lads, letting them win 16 - 0 and maybe keeping them up. Martin Glover got 59 for Fraser Lads whilst Jeff Wall hit 56 for Flintstones.

Division Two ( all results) Regent Sports surprise themselves and finish second !

Strays v Anchors

Strays finish their season with a 12 - 4, 3 pins win in spite of Martin Harris getting 52 for Anchors. If Geoff Poole had played it might have been different.

Worle Century Club v Bristol Stragglers

Steve Goddard's 52 also helped Century Club to a 12 - 3, 2 pins win which moved them up a place but Stragglers hung onto third place.

Regent Sports v White Hart Harriers

A good 55 from Brian Jenkins saw Mike Richard's Christmas come early as they gained promotion to the first.

Langford Rovers v Dab Hands

Rovers signed off from the Boro Sports with a crushing 16 - 0 defeat in spite of Phil Yelland hitting 57.

Nelly's Heroes v Coach House B

Nelly's had a 16 - 0 win and are Champions for the third season running. A 12 points gap separated the top two. Fitting that Captain Neil Wilcox should top score with 53. Coach House ended bottom of the division.

Bittermen v Churchill Club

Bittermen finished fourth as they beat the bottom but one 14 - 2 in spite of being two short. Rob Field led the field with a 51.

Division Three (2/3 results) Ginger Mingers take top spot !

Admirals v Boro Arms

Mike Southwood hit 47 as Admirals ended with a 12 - 4 win.

Ginger Mingers v Uphill Steamers

As expected Ginger Mingers won 15 - 1 in spite of Gary Cross top scoring as usual for Steamers with 52. Ginger Mingers take top spot but I don't know by how many.

Crusaders v Green Baize Packers Crusaders win the match against the Green Baize Packers and in doing so win second spot in the Division with Ricky Brafield hitting 53 for them.

Division Four ( all results) Survivors take second place !

Social Club B v St. Happys

A three pins gap saw St. Happys having a 12 - 4 win thanks to Gordon Clapp getting the applause with a 50.

Earlybirds v Regency Alleyblasters

Earlybirds award themselves the wooden spoon for the fifth time and end with a 14 - 2 defeat. Alleyblasters should be pleased with their first real season, ending with eight wins and a Cup.

Beer Masters v Survivors

Beer Masters had an excuse, playing on a strange alley, as they went down by ten pins to the second placed team. Barry Thomas hit a good 48 for Survivors.

White Hart Humbles v Shepherds

Humbles had a good season, finishing fourth, but this was a surprise win for Shepherds by 12 - 4. Nick O'Hagen got a good 48 for Shepherds whilst Andy Gibbs and Dean Brigden signed off with 51s for Humbles.

Weston Legionaires v Prince of Wales

Legionaires late surge gained them third place and this week they won 14 - 2 with long serving Bill Manville getting 59. Grant Aldridge got a good 49 for PoW.

The Steve James final took place at the Bristol on Tuesday between Fraser Lads and Coach House A. Coach House who ended bottom of the first hoped to gain some silverware whilst Fraser Lads were in their second final of the season. A close match with only five pins separating them saw Fraser Lads winning. Lee Dodd's 51 for Fraser Lads was bettered by Nigel Dunn's 52 for Coach House.
