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: We actually played this match last week (because of the wedding) just before we got totally thumped by the High Rollers. We played well and managed to secure most of the points – meaning we still have a slim chance of winning the league. We are 18 points behind (so still mathematically possible) but it means we have to win big and hope Another Nine Then lose badly. It’s not over til the last pin falls!

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: This was a good match. Hard fought and very sticky (it was hot tonight). We had a crap 2nd game, but the rest was solid and we came through deserving winners. The best thing though is that we’re up to 2nd place in the league. The highest we’ve been and now ONLY 12 points off top spot. What a finish to the league – only 5 matches to go!

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: 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: Mixed fortunes tonight. We both bowled steadily the first 2 games and were deserving winners. The 3rd game, however, was a different story. We started badly letting our opponents open up a lead – it was hard to catch them. They won the 3rd game and also managed to recovered overall pinfall by 8 pins – annoying. We were in a great place to inflict a heavy defeat on our 1st place rivals and close the gap right up, oh well, a win’s a win, and that’s the main thing.
Back in 3 weeks - off next week (cancellation) and Bank Holiday Monday the week after.
League position: 3rd
