League Report - Matches shot on the 13th December 2007
 

Last week there was an abbreviated fixture list due to the postponement of the Avenue-RBL match against Binton B which will now take place on 27 December.

In the Home Guard vs Knights match, Will Troth and Chris Green got the visitors off to a good start with scores of 30 and 31. They were matched by Jackie and Richard Mills for the home team. Doug Dampier had a run of threes to score 25, followed by Irene Parsons who fared not much better with 26 but who put her team into the lead. Ruth Dampier settled into the target with fours and two bulls for 30pts. Bill Gately took another point for Home Guard with his score of 31. The Knights saw the match slipping away from them when Lisa Edwards and Jon Packard were out shot by Steve Hodges' 32 and Derek Powers' 31. Carl Rapson did well to shoot 33 pulling two points back for Knights but it was not enough. Sam Goodman and brother Ben shot 31 and 29 to give the Home Guard a counting score of 215. Fran Westwood added 27 to give the Knights a counting score of 208.

Wilmcote and MEB both in second place in the league with only the narrowest of differences between their teams' average scores were shooting it out for runner up place in the league. Neither team had the advantage of shooting on home ground since MEB moved to Wilmcote Club at the start of the season. A full report of the match is not possible as the scores were not with the match secretary in time. However, it is understood that MEB's Paul Clingan again just missed out on a possible with a score of 34. His team shot around their average whereas Wilmcote's performance was uninspiring. The match moved in MEB's direction and they ended the match 7 pts ahead to take second place in the league.

Tonight, (20 Dec) shooters will be welcomed to the Christmas Shoot at Wilmcote Club.
