Earlier in the day, Berti suffered a sudden back strain so rendering him unfit to play. However, this gave an opportunity for Turps to step in & he took his chance to shine at the very first attempt.
Driving the Tatti's on with a superbly taken 13 spare in the opening leg, he then ended the night as he'd begun it, by felling another crucial spare, this time a brilliant 15, which helped to set Beevers an unreachable target of 99.
Jonah & Boundy also weighed in with 15 spares of their own, Jonah ending with a good 35 & Boundy matching Turps with a great total of 39. Did anyone mention Vorni?
But, it was Captain Ali who grabbed the limelight all for himself. It's the fourth time he's done so this season & 118th time in his career. Quick out of the starting blocks with 11 & 16 spares, he surpassed the magical 40 by two more pins with solid efforts of 7 & 8.
"With all the pre match talk being all about being made “homeless” we soon tuned in to what was a must win game.
Good spares by Turps, The captain and Jonah put us in a good position at the halfway point and with Beevers poor 3rd leg the win was there for the taking !!
Some shocking skittling on the last two legs was only rescued by two players who did a “Vorni” and thanks to these two, Turps and the Bound, both getting excellent 15 spares the 99 we left the home side was more than enough. Excellent much needed win, we move on to another big game next week!!
Footnote, no Ian Collins tonight, heard a rumour he was protecting his averages !!!"
