B team (fixture 8) & A team (fixture 8)

Sunday February 13th: Both teams were at home playing their 8th fixture.

The B team were up against Humberside A. Leading the way were the Triples who won 3 of their 4 games and in spite of a 3-20 loss, were able to claim the 2 bonus points by just 2 shots.  The Singles won a game apiece whilst there were 2 draws for the Pairs. The Fours were defeated in all games. The final tally was 14-26 (141-178).

At the far end of the hall, the A team took on Derbyshire who were just ahead of them in the current league table. In effect this match (together with the return away match – their last game of the season), will probably determine who eventually comes 2nd in Division 2.

The match turned out to be a very close affair. Derbyshire took all 10 points in the Singles but our Fours balanced this by winning all their 4 games. The Pairs only conceded one game but the Triples only won one. So the overall result was a draw 20-20 (185-176).
