6th December 24 v Westend (A) Won 351-341

The Tatti's end the year one point clear at the top of Division 1 after a ten pins away win over Westend at the Vaga.


Apart from Cheeso's 14 spare in the opening leg there wasn't much to cheer about as they struggled to record two mediocre 80 legs. Still, there were no concerns going into the break because their opponents had faired even worse in their first leg and, being rock bottom of the league with only one victory to their name, the result was going to be a formality, ....or was it?

It's amazing how a couple of 17 spares can change the entire mood. Backed up with a 12 spare Westend penned a huge 104 leg to turn the match in their favour with a 16 pins lead at half way. Fortunately for the Bogoes they followed it up with another sub 80 to set a target of 94 to level.

After the third leg the Tatti's were still trailing by 9 pins however, a fabulous 18 spare by Eric cleared this deficit in one go & Rusty added a late 11 spare to complete the turn around. The final leg total of 99 meant Westend needed 91 to win & they fell 10 pins shy. A good game to end 2024 that.

"Outspared but it was one crucial last leg spare by Eric that probably sealed the victory. Excellent game played in good spirit it swung both ways but that brilliant 18 spare by the young man sealed the two points as we ran out winners after leaving the home side 91 to win. 
Good spares by Cheese the captain and rusty along with Eric who topped scored again with a brilliant 38 (thank god we don’t pay out a sweep anymore !!🤪) mean we go into the Xmas break as league leaders.

Merry Xmas all, we go again in the new year !!"

29th November 24 v Wranglers (H) Won 326-307

Not the best performance by a long shot but gaining two points when you're poor can be seen as a good sign. The Tatti's won by 19 pins 326-307 & a week before the festive break they find themselves a point clear at the top of the league table.


Start of the show was Hollie with a well taken 12 pare in his total of 32.

"Least said the better !! 
Tough night but good win in the end. Excellent performance by Dutchy who topped scored with 32 and cheese who achieved the only other spare along with Phil. 2 points, move on big game next at the Vaga"
