Hi tommo

we have 2 players available to play if you can find 1 more plus reserve to make a team up at say The Hurst Club or somewhere nearby

I doubt very much if Hurst Club would be interested as their table is 3-Pin hallowed turf......you could try the United Services Club (Haywards Heath) though: we got them to try 4-Pin out on the Help For Hero's day and Mick Kirwan and Andy Guy particularly seemed to have a natural ability.

Hi there. My first experience of 4-pin last night and I heartily recommend it for all of those unconvinced by its charms. It was great to play a billiards table with a completely different mindset and play shots from an angle you would never have seen before. Great night down the bull. The pizza certainly brought a few people out in sweats if nothing else!

A very enjoyable night with the Big Bulls.
great games especially Spud who put Pete under serious pressure but let him back in for the last shot which he sunk cleanly in the 200.
Spud took to 4 4 pin like a duck & loved it.

We all told Gandalf he was only 60 behind he scored 50 with the last few balls & kept 1 back he then managed to pot it in the 10 hole to draw the leg.

Paul did well in both.

I had no answer to Phil in both legs.
Thanks th the Bull for the very tasty & Hot Pizzas

yep 10 behind with the last ball to go, so a shot off the side into the 20 to take the win (my normal SAFE finishing shot) but a lip out of the 20 and straight down the 10.

looks like you Horsham boys are improving from the other scorecard, nice score sam

lets hope others may be temped to have a go at 4 Pin following this post, the big bulls team will be pleased to add interested players to their squad and you WILL get a game.

The Crawley boys all seem to have a great capacity to enjoy themselves at 4 pin which certainly rubs off on us "Eastbourne" Erberts.

The Ash at Hastings are looking at a Home and away against Dave UKs Suffolk lads and their real 4 pin top, this should be an eye opener for us, but we are all really looking forward to it.
