Team Clothier is back on a roll and moving clear at the top of D Division of the Mendip Farmers League.
Last night we defeated the team of John Witts who were second in the league behind us. We now lead the table by three points, with two points for a win. We also have a game in hand so we are feeling slightly confident.
This was a tough match with the lead swinging one way and then the other like a confused transvestite. However, on the fourth leg (which we are notoriously bad in) we hit a 69 and pulled clear. We then kept pulling away until we won by a comfortable 24.
Leading the way in the team was our very own gunslinger Wyatt Earp who hit a top shootin’ 51, followed by Nashy who hit 50 which might just, possibly, maybe, mean he is top of the averages. Top score overall though was Mr T Lethaby Snr, who hit 60 on the bottom, but then there is no pressure when you’re not in the side
The Fat Controller was in the Chair and had a mixed night. He hit 46 so drew money off most people but it could have been so much more. After starting with two eights, he then got a flopper to much cheers. However, the glory went to his head and he put the next two balls straight through. It’ll take a while for him to live that down…
I hit 45 so had to pay the Chair but I hit a nice spare myself so I am pleased with my night’s work, especially as I beat my man.
Next week we play another team near the top, Team Freestone. These guys were third by the latest table I’ve seen and they also have a game in hand. This, of course, is against us, so it is another crucial week. If we win at the Waggon and Horses on Tuesday, then we really would have our fate in our own hands as far as the title goes. Anyway, until then…
Go for wood!

Player of the week: Mr T Lethaby Snr – Our usual number two in the team is known to occasionally cross-dress (pictured) and to always lose things, such as keys, wallet, phone, passport... However, he’s normally one of our most consistent players, even if he does have a beard. Humorous tales are too many to mention them all, just if you ever meet him, ask him about the time he downed a shot, wobbled to his feet, proclaimed “I played rugby y’know” and strode out of the pub before I could even get my drink to my lips…
