Berkeley League

IN division four of the Berkeley League last week and, despite an excellent 74 from Matt Arkle including five nines at the Conservative Club, First Class slipped to a one-pin loss against the Breakaways.

Dave Longstreth and Terry Partridge were the back bone of a good team performance by the Breakaways.

The Misspins won their first away game of the season by two pins against the Pheasant Pluckers. Starting strongly a 12 spare by Hazel Palmer helped them into 23 pin after two legs.

The home side pulled pins back next leg helped by a 14 spare from Mark Brain in his 60 however the Misspins kept doggedly on for the win.

In division five, the Barclay’s League kept the title pot boiling nicely as they romped to a 39 pin home win over the leaders the Hopefuls. Ewan Green top scored with the only spare of the match in his 61 while Gilly Stook had her top score of the season, 58, for the Hopefuls.
