Highwaymen
first round win in Doris Styles (24/10/07)
Playing on the Blackpole alley with a
small kit against a good Windshields team
was not going to be easy but 2
good early legs of 84 and 88 ensured a 31
pin lead after 2 legs . the Highwaymen
never looked like throwing that away .
Gary Rudge top scored with a superb 40
without a spare
Highwaymen
make successful start in King Pin Trophy
defence (19/10/07)
The Highwaymen had a dodgy start against
a good Runaways team from Monday div 1.
The Highwaymen's 61 against the Runaways
74 certainly gave the Runaways some
heart. But a 41 second leg from the
Runaways let the Highwaymen back into the
match. We then posted legs of 66 and 78
and this effectively ensured the
Highwaymen progressed into the 2nd
round.
Martin Jones . Dean Banfield and Gary Hanson all bowled well to give the Highwaymen a good win against a team who on their night can beat anybody.
Highwaymen
take over at top (17/10/07)
As always the New
Castings gave the Highwaymen a close
game. The game was waiting for either
team to post the killer leg but despite
both teams bowling well it was not to be
and the consistency of the Highwaymen was
just enough to win the game by 11 pins.
The new Castings showed their battling
qualities by getting big spares at the
right time to keep them in the game. The
match winner for the Highwaymen was ex
New Castings player Phil Read with a very
good 46. To say the least Phil enjoyed
posting this score against his old team
mates. The New Castings were left 91 to
win but they were never able to get the
spare that would have given them the
chance to win the game . 16 points
against a team who will be battling at
the top was a good return and moved the
Highwaymen 14 points clear at the top.
Highwaymen
win on up and down night (10/10/07)
Highwaymen made
sure of the win with a 114 4th leg which
included 3
spares.. The Highlight being a 17 spare
from Gary Hanson. But a 75 third leg gave
the Casual 2 leg bonus points which
should have been secured. The Highwaymen
needed a 80 last leg to secure a 16 - 4
win. This we did with ease with 2 further
spares being taken off. A 16 spare by
Steve Dayus was followed by another from
Mitch Fowles. the Highwaymen posted an
101 final leg which gave us a team total
of 475. Another successful night ensuring
the Highwaymen stay in the upper reaches
of the league table.
Highwaymen
take it out on New Raiders (03/10/07)
After last weeks
flattering performance in the last two
legs the Highwaymen wanted to make sure
they did not make the same mistake
against a Raiders team struggling for
form. As it was the Highwaymen had no
need to worry with the team playing as
well as it could. Jaime
Rushton with a stunning 15 spare was the
pick of the bowlers . But he was ably
supported by several players. Gary Hanson
, Gary Rudge and Mitch Fowles all bowled
well in a solid team effort. The
Highwaymen finished with 11,15,9 to leave
the Raiders 110 to win and 97 to win the
last leg bonus points. Despite their best
efforts the Highwaymen took 20 points and
kept the pressure on the Bulls who also
won.
