Inter-Branch Skittles Friday 18^th March 2011

North Cotswold Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale

Following the popular skittles match against Cheltenham Sub Branch last year we challenged Shakespeare Branch to a match at the Butchers Arms at Mickleton. This was held on 18^th March at the excellent alley with Doom Bar and Abbot Ale on hand pump.
Aiming for 12 per side this was exceeded with 14 per side completing five rounds thanks to an active sticker up who kept things moving. The competition was fierce with respective Branches trading rounds until the final Shakespeare player (their bus driver) narrowly snatching the team result. Liz Kirby won the ladies prize with a total score of 34 and Richard Hogg held up North Cots honour by winning the men’s prize with a score of 42. Peter Rowe should be mentioned with a 14 top score in one round.
An excellent buffet was laid on for players and friends with North Cotswold sporting their new black tea shirts doing it justice. Thanks to the Butchers Arms, our Mickleton members and Roger for organising N Cots and Bob Kirby for the opposition and we look forward to a rematch in 2012.
