22nd October v Wellies (Home) Won 349 - 338

The Tatti's made it 5 wins from 5 with victory over Wellies at The Snooker Centre.

15th October v Woodpeckers (Away) Won 323-305

The Tatti's kept their 100% start to the season going with a good 18 pins away win over Woodpeckers on a very difficult Hereford Bowling Club alley.

After a very shaky start from Russ & Rob they soon got into their stride. Booby made sure he cleared the frame with every visit to the alley after leaving 7 pins standing on his opening leg and his 10 spare was the catalyst to a cracking 49 top half. 

He finished as joint top scorer with Westy & Cheeso who have both had excellent starts to the new season.

Spare a thought for the unfortunate Phil Hill, who's score of 21 has set a new season standard for the spoon. As it happens, on this day in 1993, he did exactly the same in a league division 5 match against Conservative 'C' at the Barrels.

8th October v Buccaneers (Home) Won 403 - 343

 

The Tatti's (or 'Tatibogoes' as chalked up by interim-captain Berti), were in excellent form again to record another 400+ and defeat their opposition, Buccaneers by 60 pins. 

Vorni was the first to clear the frame with a spare ball in hand shortly followed up by TK Maxx who appears to be making flopper 11s his trademark. 

As TK felled yet another 11 spare in the final leg, all but one of the spares (Rusty's 10) were felled by bottom half players. That was until Cheeso stepped up to steal the limelight with a fantastic 17 spare! 

The spare was so good not only did it give him the 'Bogoes top score on the night but it merited an invite to the Tory Ball the following evening. The photo below shows him socialising with his new best pal, Tim Nicebutt.

There was more good news on the night as Holly undertook a fitness test, following his recent near death experience with an Eddie Stobart lorry, and he came through it with flying colours!

1st October v Wranglers (Away) Won 338-310

 A 400+ total was never going to happen at the Tennis Club but nonetheless, a solid performance by the players was sufficient for the Tatti's to claim another two points against Wranglers.

It was a tricky alley to play on with spares chances arriving at a premium. When Booby, Phil Hill & Liam all missed good single pin chances it was looking likely to be a rare spareless night. But, in the final leg, Liam produced a fantastic flopper ball and, unlike his flopper the previous week, he made full use of it this time with a fifteen spare and ended up as the Bogoes top scorer. He also now finds himself sitting pretty at the top of the averages table.
