Late Night Shotfests

This report is a week late but the games on 4th Feb must have been surreal for those participating.

It’s not clear if some players had been on the red bull but two teams were certainly flying at the late evening matches. This league has certainly had it all, from peels to big wins and this was a big win week.

League leader Joe took on Jim and clearly started the match with a show on intent, taking a three then losing a one. With consecutive threes in ends three and four he was already 9-1 at the halfway and Jim was really up against it. Jim took a single in the fifth which energised Joe who racked up five shots in the next two wens to win 14-2.

It sounds like a bruising game but I’m reliably informed it wasn’t the run away game that the score line suggests. Just one of those nights when it all fell to one team and Joe was the beneficiary.

Meanwhile David was up against Steve and after two ends there was nothing remarkable in the score at 2-1 to Steve. Then a run of 4-2-4 shots to Steve took everyone by surprise. Despite the numbers I hear each end was one stone away from a single but like Joe, the ice was with Steve and no matter what David threw at him, it was going to be Steve’s game. David did take another two ends but the last end was a big score for Steve. 18-4 was the final score.

So after two weeks of teams trading shot for shot, this was a compete contrast. It’s shaken up the table a bit with almost everyone shuffling places. Joe is still in front but it’s close!
