Welcome to the ABM Skittles Club, based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire
THE OXFORD CITY FLOORING WINTER LEAGUE
Proudly sponsored by
Week 4 - Division 1
It was another week of close games in the top flight, and all teams have now chalked
up a win after three 6-4 games. Gutter Nutters’ skipper Dave Quinn hit the only spare
of the week, and his team won the pins, but it was Rollin’ Pins who took the victory on
Monday night. Pins won out in the close middle legs, with Nutters starting and finishing
with big pin totals. Dave was top scorer here with 36, whilst Olli Henderson made 33
for Pins.
Callum Dickson’s 36 helped BGS win the spoils over Living On A Spare, but LOAS
chalked up two legs before the Birdies machine got into top gear.
Cross Keys hit the highest score in the division this week on the way to their win over
Young & Bald, with Grant Shergold walloping another 36 for the pub outfit, and Geoff
Arnold backing him up (33).
Week 4 - Division 2
Best Sellers have started strongly in Division 2, and they matched the highest score of
the season so far (194) as they defeated Sianie’s Angels. Sellers must be scratching
their heads after their 32 pin lead only yielded 6 points, but Angels were at their very
best in the first & last legs and snatched the points in those legs. Indeed, Angels’ 44 in
the 5th is the best leg of the season in Div 2. Ian Saunders was best in show this week
with his 37, and was supported by 36 from Peter Abery for Sellers; Mitch Makoka & Jon
Webb hit 33s for the Angels.
Spare Ribs maintained their winning start with a 6-4 win over Skittle SIsters. Ribs were
well in control, winning by 19 pins, but the Sisters held firm to take the beer leg (though
only 2 drinks) and the last to keep thei points total ticking up. Ribs’ new signing Morgan
Pearce toppled 35 for his best score yet.
Big ‘Uns are a point behind Spare Ribs in 2nd after their 7-3 reverse of Remnants. Big
‘Uns took three legs and drew another for the win before Remnants finally won out in
leg 5. Ross Purnell whacked a classy 34 in his first appearance this year, whilst Colin
Wheeler countered with 33.
Pin Pals and Newcomers played out the first draw of the season on Thursday night.
The Pals were in the box seat, with 5 points on the board by the end of the beer leg, but
Newcomers turned things around in the second half of the game and squared the
match with wins in the last 2 legs. The result moves Pin Pals to 3rd in the league, but
they have played more games than anybody else.
From next week, we become a two alley club, so a full league programme can be
played every week - great news, though that’s a lot of match reports…
