WANDERERS - 'HOW WE LOST AGAIN' REPORT

Week 7 - 90/91 Season

Yep, Another crashing defeat, and.. yes, you guessed it.. It was all due to the anchor hand again. But let's not be too hard on them, they were after all, under a lot of pressure and must really be forgiven for getting slightly lower scores than we may have come to expect from them. They tried hard but ultimately on the night they just couldn't match the ferocious opposition.

19 pins down after the first leg, the second leg managed to pull a few pins back, but it was a truly magnificent third leg that gave us hope .. and a 3 pin lead. Gary 'Corner Shop' Newman made up for his abysmal performance the previous week, skittling a truly stunning 58 (With two spares and two nines). Scouse and Mike 'I don't like Nicholas Ridley' Benbal also performed well, with 47 and 46 respectively, to give the third leg a stunning 151 pin total.

Then the anchor leg came on ... Nigel 'Old man Wibber' Bethall performed poorly and received his first egg of the season for his 34. The gallant captain 'Effus Beeus' was also performing slightly under par, but this was not surprising considering the totally unfair and misguided barracking that he received from his own not so loyal team members. Finally we had Cliff 'I once wiped my bottom' Pennell, who with only 21 pins after four hands managed to just save face with an 8 and a 9 to finish on 38. He did however lose his anchor man position to Scouse, while Gary shoots up 5 to 3rd Place in the averages.

Finally a reminder of the Christmas Run up theme nights:
