PM: This was a close match but yet again we prevailed. I wasn’t playing very well so it was up to Andy to pull us through – he did in style. I had problems with my thumb swelling up, this caused my release to be inconsistent and in the forefront of my mind. I struggled but was only just shy of my average. It’s close at the top, we are in touching distance of 2nd. Come on!

AM: I stayed out on the second arrow for my strike ball this week and it paid off with much more success than last week. I had a 212 on my first game and two 170 odds for the next two, a marked improvement. The games were very close but we scraped another win. If we are both on form next week we can jump a few places.

League position: 5th
