27th October v FJ Lions (H) Won 359-345

The Tatti's maintained their 100% start to the season with a 14 pins victory over their stable mates FJ Lions, 359-345

New in at No.1 this week was Booby Weale. He outshined everyone with a brace of spares and finished with an excellent 44 total, the Tatti's highest score of the season so far. Not too far behind was anchor man Prycer, his 41 included a magical 17 spare that probably turned the game in the 'Bogoes favour before Lions had started bowling.

Captains Comment:

"Excellent start by Faf(13) but what followed was pretty woeful for us, until Dave rescued the leg with a superb 17 to finish. Thanks to those two we somehow chalked up 91 and lions stayed with us but their poor second leg gave us the impetus to take control of the game and with Ian’s 13 we had a lead of 20 after two legs which proved decisive. 

Left 72 to win we made hard work of it with last man Faf still needing 2 for the victory but he finished with another well taken spare to take the top score accolade with 44 just pipping Dave who scored a brilliant 41"

20th October 23 v Painters 'B' (A) Won 378-328

The Tatti's maintained their excellent start to the season with a huge victory over Painters 'B' by 50 pins, 378-328.

TK Maxx starred with a superb 42, thanks to a brace of spares, the first one coming from a brilliant second ball delivery. It was a welcome return to form for Liam who, as it happens, top scored with 39 in the same fixture last season, and long may it continue.

Captain's comment:

"Painters poor first leg allowed us to take control and we did just that and with a 15 spare in each of the first 3 legs by Liam, Faf and Griff it set us up for what was a comfortable win in the end. With 3 more spares on the last leg by Jonah, Liam and Craig we chalked up another excellent performance of 4 90+ legs. Top score went to TK who with 42 excelled to Maxx !!"

13th October 23 v Wellies (H) Won 358-329

 Friday 13th may be unlucky for some but not for the Tattibogoes who beat Wellies by a comfortable margin of 32 pins at home, 358-326.

A welcome return to form by Boundy who, standing tall in the bottom half, took advantage of a great spare opportunity in the opening leg to start with an 11. The was soon backed up by Prycer with a superb 13 spare which closed out a match winning ton leg. 

With spare opportunities at a premium, the pair battled it out for the accolade of top score and in the end Prycer just pipping Boundy by a couple of pins. Five from five they look forward to next weeks' trip to  Captain Ali's former team Painters B.   

Captain's comment: "Good win!! Only 2 spares on the night both on the first leg by Boundy and Dave but that set up an excellent opening leg of 100 which meant the wellies were always chasing but never really put us under pressure and we ran out comfortable winners. Well done Dave top scoring with a good 36, overall solid team performance"

6th October v Buccaneers (A) Won 387-341

 

The Tatti's maintained their 100% start to the season with an excellent performance against Buccaneers at the Lads Club, the Bogoes winning by 46 pins, 387-341.

As he did in this fixture, Rusty got the team off to a flier with a great 15 spare. What followed was a game of two halves, top half could do no wrong whilst the bottom half struggled to get going. Prycer & Holly did their best to stay in touch with the top half with a couple of decent spares, but with Cheeso & Captain Ali on fire with 17 & 18 spares respectively, the top half completed another 4-0 white-wash.

Cheeso's pre-match 'all-you-can eat' Chinese feast served him very well as he scored a superb 41 but, Ali, with one more pin on the last leg, pipped him to top dog on the night & joins Berti with the Tatti's highest score of the season so far (42).

Just for the hell of it, and because Ali & Cheeso are one step apart, here's an old photo taken on this Lads Club alley many moons ago...

Captain's comment: "Best performance so far, four 90+ legs, aided by some big spares helped us to gain a comfortable win on our old alley. Excellent 41 by Cheese, but he was pipped to the highest score accolade by the captain who with 42 finally pulled his finger out !!! Well done boys"
