THE Lads completed a remarkable double as they beat champions Bombers by 14 at the Berrow Inn in Division One of the Highbridge & District Skittles League.

This season, The Lads have been the only team to defeat Bombers on their own alley at the Bristol Bridge and the latest loss was only Bombers' second of the season.

Steamers' 28-pin victory over Brent Knoll Inn confirmed them as runners-up and relegated the losers. Lighthouse Rogues are also down, despite having beaten already-doomed Railway Burtle by 62 at the Lighthouse Inn. Paul Hale had a three-ball maximum 27 in his 96.

In Division Two, joint leaders Sleepers and Tryers were playing a title decider last week when they met at The Ritz. In the previous week, Tryers were 70 too good for Outsiders, with Mark Hembury (83) and Tony Mansfield (80) top-scoring. A first hand of 105 pulled 45 pins for Tryers.

Sleepers defeated Accrington Stanley at Pawlett Pavilion.

Amazingly, the top two were also meeting in the final week in Division Three. Crown Criminals were taking on Alleycats at the Crown with the winners being champions.
