THE finalists of the Albert Chidgey Cup in the Quantock Vale Skittles League were decided on Monday night with Globetrotters and Triards going through to meet each other on Thursday, November 20, at the King’s Head.
Wanderers started well at the Globe, hitting a 74 pin first hand pulling 16 pins on Globetrotters, but the visitors aren’t top of the league for nothing and by the halfway point they were 27 pins ahead themselves.
They continued in this vein finishing 67 pins to the good; Paul Buller was top of the alley with 114 closely followed by his team mate Barrie Buller who hit 106.
In the game at Stockland Club, the visitors, Triards, kept their noses in front for the first half, leading by 10 pins. The second half was also very tight; Club pulled 11 pins on the 8th hand to trail by just 7 pins and the next hand was tied.
The Triards responded with a 53 pin last hand leaving Stockland Club needing 61 to win, but they could only manage 48 to lose by 12 pins.
Semi-Finals Albert Chidgey Cup Stockland Club 462 (N Escott 95), Triards 474 (A Ingram 84); Wanderers 467 (J Spence/S Larcombe 84), Globetrotters 534 (P Buller 114)
