The Tatti's returned to action from the festive break hungry to resume the defence of their championship. Stood in their way was Evans SC, historically, the team who have been their main challengers over the years.
Having won the home game against Evans, in their final match of 2022, the Bogoes were also looking for do the double over them for the 6th time.
I doubt many will know that this is the 69th competitive match between the two teams and, going into the game, despite trailing 32-36, Evans held the lead in the pins count by15 pins (22,393-22,378).
Anyway, on to this game, the Tatti's were well in the zone and soon turned that statistic in their favour, with an emphatic 70 pins victory.
They were 'at it' from the off with Booby flooring an excellent 13 spare. Some great skittling followed and it could've been even better if Liam hadn't suffered the misfortune of seeing his spare ball sail straight through the gap between the pins.
And, it got better, the second leg could easily have been 100+. Cheeso was on fire with a superb 14 and, prior to that, Boundy was very unlucky not to get a spare as he watched the middle pin rocking side-to-side but, somehow it remained standing whist the rest of the pins all fell down. Not to be too disappointed, he duly dispatched it with his final delivery to chants of 'Lets all have a disco'.
They eased off slightly during the third leg but, maintaining the consistency the leg total of 87 served to increase the lead further. Such was the scale of this performance, in previous matches at the Volly, this would be a fantastic score so, Stuee Griff was more than pleased to chalk it up.
As if that wasn't enough, the game ended with a brace of spares from Berti & Rusty with 12 and 16 spares. It put the 'icing on the cake' to end proceeding and surge their total score to 370, their best ever against Evans SC in the 17 matches played at the Volly and now maybe the last as Evans have decided to move to the Brewers Arms for the remainder of the season & beyond.
