Firstly an apology. Due to a rather delightful trip to Brussels with my better half, I was not able to do a blog after last week’s game.
Unfortunately, I clearly drank too much in the EU capital (which was fantastic by the way, if a little pricey) and I can’t really remember many details of the game! I know we won by quite a large margin but I’ll be damned if I can remember anything else…
Anyway, on to last night’s game at the Waggon and Horses at Doulting Beacon which was, for once, not shrouded in flog and soaked in tumultuous Mendip downpours. We were playing an all-female team so it was a good job the Fat Controller wasn’t there or we’d have lost him for the night…
We won the game by 27. Which was good. But we hit our lowest score of the season. Which was bad. But we kept hitting pins despite the demoralising score. Which was good. But I hit 32 and my lowest score of the season. Which was bad.
Top scorer was our man on the bottom Alan, who knocked 45 and took all the money. Next up was Mr T Lethaby Snr whose 43 keeps him in the hunt at the top of the averages, followed by DJ with 42 – his missile-like deliveries scaring the sticker-upper on numerous occasions.
I must make a couple of extra mentions as well. Firstly, sorry to Joe The New K
id for tipping my pint of Coke all down his jeans, I hope you’ve dried out now. And secondly, best of luck to Hurricane Hellard, who goes in to hospital on Monday to have a hip replacement, which will rule him out for the rest of the season.
Next week we play at home against Team Alvis, knowing that another win could almost seal promotion already. Fingers crossed for some top scoring. Anyway, until then…
Go for wood!

Player of the week: Alan – always one to join in the verbal abuse, our ex-newspaper group chief executive (pictured right looking very dapper) has been a Team Clothier member for many years. He plays less regularly these days, but when he does, he can still pull a score out of the bag.
