This was the first away game for us. A fine 3-0 win at the Bull Gt Milton.
We set 18 in the first, the Bull replied with 12.
The Bull set 11 and 13 in the next two legs which we beat with 16 and 22.
We won the Beer leg as well, that's 3/3 now
Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2007 6:20 pm Post subject: Wheatsheaf Away 15 th June
Mixed night last night, we started well setting 20 which the Wheatsheaf only managed to reply with 12. Second Leg we set 17, Wheatsheaf hit back with 21. They followed this up by setting us 21 in the 3rd leg and we only managed 18. A 2-1 defeat, though we did manage to win the Beer Leg again so it's 4 from 4 on that front
Top scores were Allan Davies and Nick Band with 10 each, though Nick owes the 3rd leg caller a Beer!!
James Morrison made his debut in this game, no nerves as he is proving as good as Cosmo already!!
Next Friday 22nd June Home to Crown A Chalgrove.

Lucky escape on Friday, only a Blob from the Crown's Anchorman gave us a 3-3 draw. We took the first leg after the Crown set, we set in the second and were beaten, the third we were put in by the Crown and managed a miserly 11, helped by a blob from yours truly !! First blob for a couple of years. The Crown seemed to be coasting with only one needed off the anchor, luckily for us he didn't find the target and the match was drawn.
More bad news ensued as we lost our first beer leg of the season
That's 4:1 in our favour now.
Next week Tiddington CC away.

This Friday saw a defeat by 5:1 at Tiddington CC.
The home side set 19 in the first leg, which we managed to equal.
The next two legs saw Tiddington set again, 25 in the second and 21 in the third.
We tried to stay with them, but only managed 20 in the second Leg, the third leg saw us collapse to a miserly total of 12.
Yours truly was the Top Man with 11 Dolls.
More bad news followed as we went down in the Beer leg as well.
That's 4:2 in our favour.

Last night was the rearranged fixture at home to the Queens Head, Horspath.
The Queens set all 3 legs 15,18 and 9 respectively.
We couldn't quite match them in the first 2 legs losing by just one doll in both legs.
However the 3rd Leg was a different story, chasing a meagre 9 we started of by securing the leg with only 3 players having thrown!!
The first four beat our start off record with 18 dolls between them, we totalled 26 for the leg, that was in cluding 2 Blobs!!
Top scorer was Allan Davies with 11. Though Barry ` Handbag' Harper deserves a mention for his double figure total.
More good news as we set and won in the Beer leg.
Beer Legs now 5:2 in our favour.
Next Game Fri 6th July - Red Lion Garsington away.
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 9:54 pm Post subject: Home V Wheatsheaf Chinnor Fri 20th July
Well this was the worst night of the season so far, both for scoring and conditions!! The monsoon that had lasted all Friday didn't clear up as predicted on the BBC Weather site!!
Wet weather gear was donned by all, no practice throws and straight into the game, didn't it show!!
We set the first leg, scoring 17, the Wheatsheaf replied with 15. They put us in for the Second leg and flopped with a paltry 7, lowest for us for many years , the Wheatsheaf duly passed that easily and put 17 on the board. Due to the conditions the third leg became more significant as it doubled as the Beer leg. Wheatsheaf set us 11 which we managed to beat with a total of 13. Another Beer Leg to us
thats 6 out of 8. (or 6:2)
next game Fri 27th July, away to the Crown Chalgrove
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2007 7:40 pm Post subject: Away v Crown C Chalgrove.
A decent weather match for a change.
We set the first leg and put 19 on the board which the Crown couln't quite match scoring 18.
They put us in again in the second leg and we set 18, the Crown trumped this with 20 so it was al to play for in the third.
We put the Crown in on the third leg and they set us 18, we got to needing 6 from the last 2 players, Crusher got 4 but we settled for a draw with Allans two matching the Chalgrove set at 18-18.
Overall match score was 3-3, a fair reflection on the throwing.
Good for us to have 3 consistent legs.
We set 20 in the Beer leg, the Crown replied with an equal score. Honours even. Beer leg scores now 6&1/2 for 2&1/2 against.
Crusher won bragging rights with 11 Dolls.
Yours truly was second highest with 3*3 and 3 more in the Beer leg.
Next Game Fri 3rd Aug Home game versus Bull Great Milton.
