Keeping up the 100% record

Another week, another large victory for Team Clothier. We are liking this D Division malarkey!
Apparently we are top of the table on pin difference so another big win has got to strengthen our position.

This time round we won by 32, but I didn’t feature in the team. I’ve had a rather nasty car accident and I’m walking around like a croquet hoop so I had to take the very important role as Chalky (see Definition of the Week below).

Nashy and the Fat Controller top scored with impressive 48s, but these were the only two Pasty in the Chair had to pay out to. He hit 47, with most of the other guys slotting in just behind.

The team we were playing are in their first season of skittles, were a fun bunch and were a real mix of ages. The game was played at East Harptree Club which has a bizarre concrete alley and a TV screen for everyone to see how many pins you hit down. Thankfully the rubber balls they had there have mercifully gone, and scores were higher than normal at the venue.

The question for this week’s blog which I want answering is: what’s the weirdest alley you’ve ever played on? The Harptree Club’s one has got to be up there…

By the way, a quick mention must be made to the website www.londonskittles.co.uk which has a link to this blog on it, and features all sorts of other skittles bits and bobs. It does appear to focus on a form of skittles that involves cheese (no, really) so go there and enlighten yourself.

Next week we aim to continue our 100% winning start to the season at home again at the Poacher’s Pocket. Until then…

Go for wood!

Definition of the week: Chalky – the person who’s job it is to chalk up the names and scores on the alley blackboard (no interactive white boards like at school here!). To qualify as Chalky you must not be able to pay attention to the game going on around you or be able to add up.
