Pairs League Round 5
Tuesday 4th July 2017
It was a case of 'crash bang wallop' as the Matt Peperall and Ryan Willshire upset the status quo with a shock victory on the 2017 debut for team 'Carp or Bust'. Not even a 32lb bag from Nathan Underwood could prevent the dynamic duo from reversing last seasons poor form.
Nathan had some reward as the Hallwill Hustlers moved to the top of the league as Me and My Boy slipped into fourth place on the night with average bags from Simon and Dave Allen. It was the Tiscott Boys with last minute super sub Paul Drissell and team captain Tony Johns delivering when it mattered that stole the final podium spot from them.
It now looks like a straight battle at the top between the usual suspects for the title with three of the established teams battling for third place, unless 'Carp or Bust, can prove this result was not a flash in the pan.
