Wymeswold Cons regain top spot in Syston & District Skittle League
Wymeswold Cons regained top spot and maintained their unbeaten start to the season in the Syston & District Skittle League with a convincing 4-0 victory away at Sileby Workos A.
In a relatively low scoring contest, the home side struggled to put the visitors under pressure despite Jack Billing top scoring with 26 on the night .. Wymeswold now lead by 2pts as we approach the halfway point of the season.
Syston Cons B also remain unbeaten despite yet another inconsistent display away to Barrow Cons .. the visitors found themselves 2-1 up following another of their customary slow starts but Barrow fought back in the final leg to deservedly share the points with both John Dilkes ( 29 ) and Martin Radford ( 28 ) outstanding on the night .. both sides were registering their fourth draw from eight games this season and Syston now find themselves 2pts adrift of the leaders while Barrow move up to fourth place in the table.
Carington Cons recovered from a below par display away at Syston Cons B last week to register a comfortable home win against visiting Syston Cons A and consolidate their 3rd place position in the league .. with four players scoring 23+ on the night, this was Carington's highest four leg aggregate in over three seasons since the return from covid .. Dave Williams top scoring with 27 on the night .. the visitors had no answer to three legs of 33+ from the home side and could only manage to take away a half a point consolation from a tied 3rd leg.
Syston Social Club had already played a four leg cup tie prior to the scheduled league match but managed to overcome the disappointment of losing the cup game in extra time when taking the league match by 3 legs to 1 .. in doing so, they registered their first home win of the season with Steven George top scoring for them with 23.
Queniborough's recent revival was brought to a halt by visitors Top House who were recording back to back wins which lifted them off the bottom of the league table .. the key to the visitors win came in the 3rd leg which they managed to clinch by just one pin before convincingly completing the victory by a wide margin in the final leg .. Chris Fowler top scoring for the visitors with 25 including a 9 in the fourth leg.
