WELL Developed bagged the most impressive win of the week in the Studley Skittles League after beating high-flying Team BG.

In their first four games, Well Developed had won only four legs but this time took all five to stun their opponents.

This was their highest team total of the season, helped by in-form Liz Hindson making 44, Dave Bevan (38) and Jim Child (35).

Opponents Team BG unfortunately took this game to score their season’s lowest total with only Rob Baker (34) and 33s from Janet Mole and Josh Stringer looking likely to spoil Well Developed’s first win of the season.

Another side, Swingers, also made their lowest score of the season and never worried leaders Chris and Gerry Show, who ran out easy winners.

C&G Show had John Hall making 44, his team’s highest individual total to date, and was backed up by 39s from Dave Charlesworth and Craig Sears. Only Larry Hanks (38) and Judith Clews (35) made good scores for Swingers.

Lodge Farmers can’t recall when they last beat Maudslay, who set themselves up for yet another win against their opponents by averaging 70 pins per leg over the first four legs.

Farmers improved during the game and did manage to narrowly win leg three before also taking the last leg as Maudslay relaxed to a comfortable win with Keith Fryer and Dave Ford both having 15 stacks in totals of 44 and 37 respectively, while Carlo Sanseverino chipped in with 35.

Lodge Farmers’ Tim Jones scored 37, Dave Rumble 36 and Alan Rumble 33.

Equally impressive scoring came from Engineers who, apart from a poor score in leg three which gave Alley Cats a consolation point, averaged slightly over 70 pins per leg.

Alley Cats, a man short, were always playing second fiddle despite Loz Gazeley’s 36 and solid scores by Sue Sollis (35) and Neil Harrison (34).

The closest game of the week was between Jumbo Jet Set and Mixtures. Jumbos won the first two legs and opened up a nine pin advantage only for Mixture to take the next two legs to lead by a single pin thanks largely to Gwyn McDonald with a great 17 stack in leg four.

Jumbos then left Mixtures 65 to win the game which proved to be just out of reach.
