The first game of the season came with little time for practice as the fixtures were sent out only 7 days prior to the first game!!
This meant all the home players at least were throwing for the first time this season.
The Black Horse set in the first leg, posting a good 21, we could only reply with 12 our worst of the night.
Capt Reg put us straight back in and we set 15, a slight improvement. However the Black Horse passed this comfortably getting 19 in response.
Black Horse set in leg 3 hitting 17, well within our reach, the troops rallied and we got close needing 6 from the last two player. It wasn't to be as we ended up losing 17-15.
Better news in the beer leg where we set 19, which just proved a little too much for the Black Horse who ended up doing the buying
Top scorer was yours truly with 10
So far 1-0 to us in Beer legs. Looks like this will be the important statistic this year. Next game 23rd May, away to Crown Chalgrove.

After the disappointment of the previous weeks game being postponed it was back to `normal' last night. We set out with only 7 players due to holiday commitments.
Capt Reg won the toss in the first leg and put us in, we put a good 18 on the board , not a bad effort. The Queens (unbeaten before tonight) managed 16 in reply.
Reg won the toss again for the second leg, we hit 15 dolls, the Queens Head falling one short in reply.
Queens set the third leg, they once again got 14. It was all down to the Anchor with Allan needing 3 to win, which he duly got.
The brucie bonus ws achieved when we got the beer leg as well , thats 2-0 up in Beers now Nick got a final bonus with a win in the meat raffle too.
See you next Friday, home to Tiddington Cricket Club.

Well D-Day arrived and the troops responded
We set all 3 legs, but things didn't start to plan.
In the first we hit 17 and were quietly confident, only for Tiddington to get 20 in reply.
2nd leg saw us go one better and set 18, the visitors fell one short on 17 to make it 1-1.
3rd leg we posted 18 again, our most consistent game so far and Tiddington fell 2 short in reply with 16.
Top scorers were Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti alias the the three tenors with 10 apiece(Nobber, Nick & Clive). Make your own mind up who is Pavarotti

An ominous date and it showed.
The local Derby went flat for us, me in particular.
When we eventually got going, we set in the first leg but posted a poor 12
The Bells hit back with 18
This set the pattern for the game, we set twice more scoring 13 & 18, the Bells passing that with scores of 16 & 19. Last leg being the closest with the Bells anchor man just doing enough.
Top player for us was Crusher with his second consecutive 10.
Sweet revenge in the Beer leg by just shading it. About the only positive from the night!!
Thats 3 1/2 to 1/2 in Beer legs.

Great Result, 6-0, Beer Leg, and good Pizza to boot. Shame they only had IPA
We set all 3 legs at the Wheatsheaf, in the first we got 18, they replied with 17 even though the last 2 men for them should have wrapped it up.
The second leg we dropped to 14 but this proved still too much as the response was only 12.
We set again in the third and ran out 15-13 winners.
We went first in the beer leg too, with the three extras playing making it 11 a side. We set 28 which was easily enough to win a pint, shame the choice was IPA or.............
Thats 5 1/2 to 1/2 in Beer legs Excellent Home made Pizza for food too.

The teams were almost unseparable over the night again, the spoils were shared 3-3 in the first game, Allan being highest scorer.
In the second game of the night, the Crown sneaked it 4-2, the first time either side has gained the upper hand in 4 matches, the previous 3 having been drawn (including beer legs!!)
Revenge was sweet with Masons blasting past the Crowns set in the Beer leg, Nick hitting the winning 5 dolls.
Allan was Again top scorer.
Beer legs now read 6&1/2 to 1&1/2.
next Game HOME, yes HOME to Queens Horspath on 1st Aug.

A home game at last
Not the result we were hoping after having already beat the Queens head on their alley.
Queens set the first leg getting 18, we crashed to a poor 12.
With their tails up, Queens set 22 in the second, we fell short with 19, the first three didn't help by only getting one apiece!!
Capt Reg won the toss and got us in for the third leg, we set 18 which didn't seem enough, though the Queens collapsed with 13 in reply.
Top scorers were Reg (even with a blob) and Crusher.
Highlight of the night was Crushers 6 in the Beer leg, with the family watching too. This was just enough to help push us over the line.
