The Bells, The Bells.
At least it dried up enough for the start of the game.

We came away with a 2-1 win, though disappointed with not getting all 3.
We set 17 in the first, the bells got 15.
They set us 14 in the second and we fell agonisingly 1 short on 13 Sad

Third leg saw us set 18 and the bells come back with 15 Smile

Nick top scored on 9, followed by Cosmo & Nobber with 8.

A rare loss in the beer leg sees it at 7-3 in our favour.

Next week another top of the table clash at home vs New Club.

The New Club got revenge for us winning over their place by coming to ours and getting a 6-0 win. On reflection I think just losing the first leg by 1 doll cost us the game, if we'd have sneaked it we'd have been on the up and who knows??
We set in the first, 10 from the first 4 and we looked good, but for once the tail never wagged and we totalled 17. New club pipped it by 1 with 18.

New club set the next 2 getting 22 and 24, we replied with 18 and 19.
About our average, new club threw above theirs!

Top hits with 9 apiece were Nobber & Allan, close behind Cosmo and Mike on 8.

Won the beer leg tho, now 8-3 in our favour.

Next Week Home to Tiddington CC. (31 June)

Another should have been 3 legs nights, but we came away with 2.
We unusually set in the 1st, hitting 17, TCC came back to beat us with 19.

Captain Reg chose to chase in the next 2 and we hit 24,22, after TCC setting 12 & 17. Maybe we chase every leg????

Top Hits Allan & Joe with 10. Great 5 from the Tiger Smile

won the beer leg as well, thats 9-3 in our favour. Top notch.

Next week Plough Gt Haseley away.
