THE OXFORD CITY FLOORING WINTER LEAGUE
Proudly sponsored by
Nine games across the league this week, with 3 scores of 40 or more, and a raft of high
30s…
Week 7 - Division 1
There’s still not much in it in the top division, with only 16 points separating all the
teams. Rollin’ Pins stayed at the summit courtesy of their big 8-2 win over bottom-
placed Young & Bald. Mark Reeves whacked 38 to power them to the result, and Pins
took the competitive beer leg 44-40. YAB snuck 2 points at the death, with WIll
Marsden pegging 35.
Lads’ Night Out are 2 points behind after a 7-3 victory over Living On A Spare but it
could have been more; Lads’ somehow contrived to lose leg 2 despite a 10 pin cushion
after 4 had bowled. Andy Arkell’s PB-matching 37 was the best here.
Absolutely Skittled dropped a place after they were schooled 8-2 by Cross Keys. Kev
Allen wallopped 40, including a 13 spare - his best ever. AbSki were below-par, hitting
their lowest total this year (158).
Alsorts replace AbSki in 3rd after their 6-4 result over Gutter Nutters. Captain Grainger
struck an immaculate spare-free 40 for ‘Sorts, whilst Dave ‘Mighty’ Quinn countered
with 35 to keep Nutters in contention.
Week 7 - Division 2
The big game in Div 2 was the top of the table clash between Best Sellers & Spare
Ribs, and it was the Ribs who were celebrating after they inflicted Sellers’ first loss of
the season, 6-4. It was tight, with just 3 pins between the teams overall, but the win
moves Ribs within a point of the leaders. Richard Wicks’ 37 was the top score, though
Norman Yates was close behind with 36.
Maclean Smilers move 3rd after an 8-2 win over Borrower Bowlers. Smilers were in
control for the most part, but Borrowers have quickly worked out where to put their best
efforts - they took 4 drinks and their 2 points from the beer leg.
Sianie’s Angels smashed their best ever total, 183 pins, in their 6-4 win over Big ‘Uns.
Angels were in good order all game with leg scores between 39 & 34 whereas Big Uns
were up and down, but hit the best total of the night with 43 in the 4th. Ralph Weldon
was ArkAngel with with a magnificent 39, a new high for him.
Performance of the week was Simon Barton’s majestic 41 in Remnants’ 9-1 pummeling
of Late Knights. Simon matched the highest spare of the season (14) in the 4th leg
with the rest of the Remnants chipping in to post a mighty 47-pin leg. Knights were in
trouble throughout, taking just a point in leg 1, despite a quality 37 from John Jeskins.
Last up, Newcomers & Skittle Sisters shared the spoils with the pin scores level on 161
each. Aimee Bowd hit a new PB of 33 for the game’s best score.
