So we decided to keep our hand in with a friendly game, but little did we know what a challenge it would be.
We decided to invite all the Team Clothier SWAGS along to play. SWAGS stands for Skittles Wives And Girlfriends and most of us were promptly shown up. We rotated the team so it went Team Clothier member, SWAG, Team Clothier member and so on so things were even, but Skipper’s side beat mine by 10.
Mr T Lethaby Snr starred on the night with 50 but his SWAG for the night was DJ so he could focus on his game. Nashy just beat Mrs Nashy by 1, but Hurricane Hellard lost out and faced much abuse! I hit a well-earned but spare-free 41.
Another player to just beat their better half was Pasty. Now Pasty had his birthday on Monday so he had to face the five half-pint challenge last night, which made for an entertaining evening. Not known as a big drinker, Pasty achieved a rather good 19 minutes for the challenge but was flying afterwards. I couldn’t possibly repeat some of the stuff he was saying, suffice to say it was amusing and rather X-rated.
The skittles season resumes proper next Tuesday at the George in Gurney Slade. Last night’s scores do not count towards who gets in the team so it should be a similar side to that which played at Chew Magna just before Christmas. Anyway, until
then…Go for wood!

Player of the week: Pasty (pictured) – our regular at the number three slot in the side has to be featured this week as he tackled the five half-pint challenge. A member of Team Clothier for a good eight years or so he has been known to discuss tactics until the wee small hours. One of his most famous Team Clothier moments was when he got rather drunk one night at the Sheppey Inn, Godney, and heckled a player for foot faulting despite the opponent having to use two walking sticks to stay upright…
