We were due a five handed Bad Boy match; sadly Steve was a no-show... However the other four contenders were on time and ready to rock and roll! It has to be said, some ROCKED and some ROLLED!
After a short flirtation with the flipometers (and some discussion about which team was red and which was green) the sides were Peter and Malc ‘v’ Ian and Doddy.
Speaking of Doddy, I must thank him for providing a lavish supply of home grown radishes and cheese as inter-round nibbles, glorious, they were thoroughly enjoyed by all!
On to the games... We started with a close game that was snitched by Pete and Malc who celebrated in the usual style by chanting ‘No whitewash for us, no whitewash for us!” The second game was taken by Ian and Doddy thereby making sure they weren’t going to suffer that fate either!
Then followed a hard fought third game that went to Malc and Pete, the fourth was also a tough contest, grabbed by Doddy and Ian. Then followed the glorious fifth which was won (nay it was walked!) by Malc and Pete, in fact the opposition struggled to avoid a whitewash in that game! The eagle eyed among you will have noticed that until this point PM were taking the odd games while ID were taking the evens... Then something really odd happened PM even took the sixth game!
This resulted in a final score line of PM 1356 / ID 24, netting PM a 4 – 2 victory over ID.
Notable Events:
Malc was definitely MOTM; playing well above his usual game, in fact his play was a crucial part of all of PM’s wins. Game five in particular was a stunning piece of work; Malc dispatched the three bulls early in the game allowing us to win by mopping up the low numbers.
There were some excellent trebles planted by both sides, with T20’s and T18’s in great evidence throughout the evening.
Bull Wars: Malc 2, Pete 1, Ian 1.
Chart Changes: Malc gains 8.5%! This places him above Colin by 1% (Come on Colin, pull your finger out and show up!). This also means Malc is now less than 1.5% behind Doddy... Ian’s % drops by close to 1% making Dave just over 2% behind him....
Game On!
