Ok Joe in true Bournemouth style the semis/final will be 4 legs. I will run the result twice - the aggregate score over the 2 matches will decide the winner.

[chocie]

Looks like Alfie is taking the break and I don't know want you mean Nigel 😁

[marmite]

As the all Wellie pair are in round 2 does that mean I ve won a game ?

Keep it at 2 legs, we will have a better chance of winning if we get that far

15	Michelle Coleman & Bob Mechan	8,860	Stuart Carruthers & Gary Powell	5,470	Shocker for Stu and you got a good partner!

My partner was buying me bottles of cider from 11am before our evening match. Had a great day but meant I could barely stand-up when the match started and I blacked pegged on every visit and lost the points Gary had scored. Luckily he got a break at the end to get some points on the board for us.

Before our plate match I'm not going to go bottle for bottle with him during our pre-match drinking session. I'm not in the same league in the drinking stakes!

[dillon]

Joe's new partner successfully drags him down to his level. So predictable!

He's a pussy: drinks Magners. Like gnat's p!$$ (according to Margo).

Get him on the White Lightning, LOL

[marmite]

Colin Smith & Mick Winder 9,440 Ros Appleby & Roger Taylor 9,410 Colin's first win cheers Mick! Over the moon with this magnificent victory, i can meet my maker knowing i played brilliantly winning with the last ball down the hundred to seal. Reminded me of the time at the New Oak when i stuffed Silent with an equally brilliant recovery and last ball in the 100, i don t think he has recovered from this as he seems to have lost his voice on here, I hope you are ok Matt as the silence is deafening.
