Stone CC end Golfing Society's winning streak
Monday night saw Stone CC take on the Alley Cat Strays and the Golfing Society to cement their postion at the top of the league.
The Alley Cats despite scoring 198 were well beaten, and the Golfing Society were put under no illusion as how great their task would be to gain victory over the home side.
Taylor(24) and Lewis (30) found themselves 18 pins down, and from then on it was an uphill battle to get back into the game,
Tinney(30) and Williams(20) despite suffering a lot of bad luck, were unlucky to lose a further 12 pins on an alley which was giving nothing to the visitors.
Crabtree(33) top scored for the Golfing Society, and together with Pinder(31) managed to pull a solitary pin to hand Stone CC with a total score of 197, a 29 pin victory.
An unlucky night for the Golfing Society, and a worse night for the Alley Cat Strays who would have won by 1 pin if they had played second, and also would have enjoyed the bread & cheese after the match.

Golfing Society beat Essilor for 6th victory on the trot.
The Golfing Society's current run of fine form continued with a narrow victory over 3rd placed Essilor.
Looking to do the double over their high flying opponents, Taylor(25) and Lewis(20) were unlucky to find themselves trailing by 1 pin after their regulation six ups against Matthews & King.
Gibbs(25) and Williams(33) despite a shaky start, set about regaining the lead from Mallard and Malpas, and were able to hand on a 7 pin advantage to the anchor pair.
With Crabtree(10) having a rare off-night, it was left to Pinder(35) to ensure victory by just 3 pins over the ever dangerous Hudson & Rees.
Next match is on Monday away to this years league champions Stone CC, 9pm start.

Lone Rangers gunned down by Golfing Society
Playing at the Knot of Rope for the first time in many years, the Golfing Society made a slow start to their quest for a 5th successive victory.
Taylor(22) and Lewis(26) found scoring hard to come by at first, but once the alley warmed up were able to claw some pins back to eventually finish just 8 pins down on their young opponents.
Gibbs(32) and Williams(34) turned the match on it's head, with a performance of true grit, they not only pulled back the deficit, but put the Golfing Society into the lead by 1 pin.
Despite scoring a duck, Crabtree(33) roared into an 11 pin lead, and with Pinder (30) keeping the scoreboard ticking over, the match was done and dusted with an 8 pin victory over their high-flying opponents.
Next weeks home match is against Essilor usual start time.
