26th November 25 v Emlyn's Victors (A) Lost 321-343

The Tatti's suffered another dent in their quest to retain the championship title with the dreaded plastic pins playing a huge part in their away game against Division 1 newcomers Emlyn's Victors at the Brewers Arms. They lost by 22 pins, 321-348 

Fortune played a huge part in the scores achieved by players, so there's little point in me commenting on individual performances. On the hole, I'm saddened to say, what-ever this was it definitely wasn't skittling as we know it. 

This comes across as sour grapes because the Bogoes lost the match however, win or lose, I'm always critical of the decision made back in the 1990's to allow the Amercan 'Ten-Pin' style pins to be used. Each time a ball strikes them, the resulting fall is completely random and it massively spoils the game. 

Ted Rodger's famous riddles are easier to solve than working out how to play with these pins. The best place for them is inside his dusty fecking bin!😡    

"Another abject team performance allowed newly promoted Emlyn's victors to take the 2 points which they fully deserved. It started so well as well with Rob’s excellent flopper but I’m afraid that was as good as it got. Craig registered our only other spare a 10 to finish to boost his score to a respectable 32 but it was Rob who topped scored with 33. Big two games now before the Xmas break against two good sides both of which we lost in the corresponding fixtures last season. You would say they are must wins !!"
