Wymeswold Cons clinch Syston & District Skittle League
Wymeswold Cons won 3.5-0.5 at home to Carington Arms wrapped up this season's League title.
Wymeswold led the League from the opening night and still remain unbeaten after fifteen games with fourteen wins and one draw. The home side raced into a 2-0 lead and, despite Carington's excellent effort to tie the 3rd leg when chasing down 34, this proved to be the half point required by Wymeswold to seal the title. Pete Shaw and Darren Wagg top scored for the home side with 22 apiece.
Syston Cons B confirmed their place as runners-up after easing to a 4-0 victory away to Top House. The home side once again struggled to post a competitive total on their own alley and have now lost their last three home games.
Syston's 115 pins on the night is comfortably the highest aggregate by any visiting side this season and has only been bettered twice by a visiting side in the last 49 games on the Top House alley dating back to 2021, both times coincidentally by the Syston Cons side. Graham Spawton's individual score of 27 is comfortably the highest seen on the Top House alley this season.
After registering their first League win for fifteen months, Carington Cons made it two wins on the trot with a 3-1 victory against visitors Queniborough Wanderers. Despite losing the opening leg the home side quickly levelled on the night before taking the final two legs of the evening to secure the win. Matt Kirk top scored for Carington with an excellent 24.
Barrow Cons extended their unbeaten run away from home to four games with a 2.5-1.5 victory at Sileby WMC. The visitors raced into a 2-0 lead and tied the 3rd leg to secure victory before the home side took the final leg to gain some consolation on the night. Dick Smith top scored for Barrow on the night with 23.
