Skittles: Weather causes problems

MATCHES in the Yeovil Sports Skittles League were hit hard by the adverse weather conditions with a number of fixtures postponed.

Herky Snerkeys had an easy win over Mixstars for whom Jason Saunders hit 54.

With the top three out of action in Division Two Cretins and Tripods took advantage with away wins over RAFA and Artists respectively.

In Division Three, Oak Originals provided the shock of the week when they beat third-placed Jets by nine pins – only their second away defeat of the season.

Pacemakers kept up their challenge with a 13-pin away win over Game On.

In Division Four, Wessex Plus lost at home to bottom side Playboys by 34. Old Barn Club had an eight pin away win over Dads Army to go two points clear.

In Division Five, Jesters’ captain Paul Damon hit the week’s top score with 61 to put the skids under Motiv8s promotion push with a 16-pin.

Misfits extended their lead to six points with a 31-pin away win over Uncle Albert’s Desciples.

Flung Together took full advantage by winning away to Split Pins by 16 to go second.
