Played well again this week (201, 242, 216) – average back up to 208 – and a good points tally for TWS.
Current league position: 2nd
Mum and Dad were visiting us this weekend and stayed on to watch their boys, we HAD to perform well, they were proud

PM: Well it’s all over for this season. We didn’t manage to top the league but we came bloody close! Not bad for our first season back – we can only win it next year. Thanks for the support…we’ll be back and raring to go for the new season on 7th September.

PM: This was unbelievable timing – our opponents played amazing and wiped the floor with us. We can’t be down beat though, there was nothing we could do, we played good but were just beaten fair and square. Makes winning this thing a little more difficult. We’ll bounce back next week – we have to! Down to 2nd 
AM: I bowled pretty well in this match, the only trouble was that my opponent started off with 7 strikes in a row ending up with a massive score. I scraped the second game but then lost the last one. Nothing much we could have done.

PM: This was another close match. Our winning run continues and we’ve stretched out a little lead in the race for the league title. Our closest rivals lost heavily, so we go into next week with a 15 point gap. We just need to keep our heads and concentrate on the matches in hand. Next week is important as we are playing two matches on the same night – only 3 matches left!
AM: Back after Dave kindly stepped in for me last week and helped push the team up to 1st place! This week we were playing Dave’s team, but this time he took the week off. I bowled well and managed to win all my points and we’ve pulled away from 2nd and 3rd. ‘Another Nine’ didn’t play this week so could get some of that ground back but as long as we keep winning that won’t happen.

PM: We’ve finally made it to the top. At last! Andy was away this week, anyone would think he’s got a wedding to prepare for. We drafted in Dave Ashwood (thanks Dave) as our special sub. We lost the first game comprehensively, we both played crap. However we pulled it back in the 2nd and 3rd games. I hit some good form too, hitting a 226 and 230, making a 618 in total (you can work out the rubbish first game). 4 matches left, let’s hope the winning run continues, it would be great to win the league at the first time of asking.

PM: After maximum points last week we were determined not to slip up this week. The run in has truely begun and it’s possible to feel the tension from the top teams. We performed like true champs tonight, only dropping 8 points along the way. It was hard fought and very satisfiying in the end. I had a tidy 614 too, not bad.

PM: This was a comfortable win and our first maximum pointer in a very long while. Hopefully this is the start of a Man Utd style finish to the season. I had 2 strong games followed in the 3rd with a scrappy one – it’s all about winning now, style can wait til next season

PM: After a disastrous start we managed to pull it back and gain a scrappy win. It could’ve been a lot better if I’d managed to spare at least once in the final game (stringing strikes wasn’t the problem!). Damn you spares!

PM: This was our canceled fixture from w/c 18th May. We played this immediately after the match against Toon Army. In a nutshell we played OK but nothing special. It was quite difficult playing 6 games in a row especially as it was hot in the centre and our opponents had a fresh player playing. We didn’t deserve to win but the fact we lost by only a few pins in the 2nd game and the overall pinfall made it much harder to swallow. The Toon Army match was close, this was even closer – annoying for it to happen on the same night!

PM: This was a bad result. We both didn’t play well and we lost the 1st and 2nd games, we just didn’t have the fight – maybe the 3 week break didn’t help us. We need to get back on it – only 9 matches left.

PM: 2nd v 4th this week. An opportunity to make-up points on one of our nearest rivals. It started very well for me, a very tidy and flush 258, ensuring a flying start, however it started to get a bit harder after that. I followed this with a 182 and then a disastrous 153! Andy was struggling again this week but we stuck at it and were victorious in the end: 22-10. These 12 points reduce the deficit to 2nd place to only 1 point and move us up one place to 3rd. Next match against the league leaders – it’s getting exciting!
AM: I’m getting worse. Based on my performance we would have lost 32-0 but lucky Paul played well. I better improve for next time if we are going to win this thing.
League position: 3rd
