After nine months of action and Team Clothier knocking around 10,000 pins down, the skittles season is over.
We have won the league by something in the region of 10 points depending on the last couple of results from other teams and it can only be hailed as a cracking year. We’ve hit the best scores we’ve hit for years and we’ve been taking far more spare opportunities.
We ended the season with a 43-pin victory over Team Witcombe but we had a bit of a fright. Having started with a good 71 leg we were somewhat disappointed when their anchorman hit an 18 spare and they pulled two pins. They then pulled more on the second leg and things were looking a bit gloomy. However, we upped our game and ended up easing to a comfortable win.
Top scorer on the night was the Fat Controller who hit 63, which is the top scorer by any Team Clothier player this season. He was followed by me with 51, which was my top score of the year as well.
There was a lot of interest in the averages and I’m convinced some players were more focussed on that than the actual game… After much heckling and banter, Mr T Lethaby Snr emerged as top average, despite stiff competition from Wyatt Earp, Nashy and Pasty.
The end of the season leaves a skittle-sized whole in one’s life but don’t worry, t
he blog will go on! I will write a report on the finals presentation night next month which promises to be a riot of a night – I’m not sure Farrington Gurney will know what hit it. Hopefully we’ll be given a trophy like the one pictured – but I doubt it!
Also, I will do reports after our four-a-side games throughout the summer. Team Clothier will be entering three sides in the Chewton Mendip four-a-side knock-out cup so hopefully we will all get past the first round. Anyway, until then…
Go for wood!

Team Clothier heckle of the week: “Off the alley!” Shouted repeatedly at a rather de mob happy Wyatt Earp who was strolling around the Poacher’s Pocket as if he owned the place…
