STUDLEY Skittles League leaders Chris and Gerry Show experienced a narrow loss to Alcester Nomads.

Nomads held a big lead of 17 pins after leg three but C&G Show fought back and only failed by five pins when chasing 79 pins in the last leg.

Swingers remain anchored to the bottom of the table in losing to nine-man Swan.

A close game looked likely, but Swans stretched their lead to run out comfortable winners for successive weeks to climb two league places.

There was no quarter given by Lodge Farmers who took full advantage to whitewash eight-man Mixtures.
