The Tatti's secured their place in the Semi Final of the Man v Man cup with a 6-4 win over Harry's Lads at the Railway Club.
The match followed the same pattern as the recent league fixture as the Tatti's struggled to get to grips with the difficulties of playing on the GWRSA alley. At the half way point they'd chalked up two poor legs again and were trailing 3-6 and 12 pins behind.
In the second half they were much improved but, they still found themselves trailing 4-5 after three legs apiece and ten pins adrift. They needed a final leg collapse by Harry's Lads and fortunately that's exactly what happened. It opened the door for the Bogoes who grasped the opportunity with both hands, an excellent final ball by Captain Ali turned the tide & another by TK Maxx soon afterwards won the match.
Some relevant stats:
Captain Ali has appeared in every Man v Man cup match, that's 75 in total.
Berti has played in all 48 matches the Tatti's have played against Harry's Lads.
This fixture has only been played once before, a first round match in September 1999 at the Farmers Club. That match was also a close game, ending with a narrow 6-5 victory for the Tatti's & 359-359 on total pins.
