and Snow jacks under pressure defeated In the end I go for my own squad for a change were faced with their nearest challengers a default win by as they Aces Answering the challenge with a win over Aces was a fairly good response Over the past few weeks ihe Snows have struggled through and this time came through when re quired Yours truly had a good week after rubbish of the previous week Four starts and three finishes Is not bad Joe Calms four starts Is also a fair showing Bryan Turner closed one game and snot 112 as Gerry Wallace closed the other game As Hat Hilts of Aces said You guys only lei us at a finish twice and we had to take them Meanwhile Bandits won the first gome and- lost ihe next three and looked to be out before coming with the two Paul started three and George Powell

finishes and two Ray Ing is had two closes That did it Panthers and Ensigns had a real set to before Ensigns came out on top No details I sorry to say but must have been a scorcher I do know that Ensigns were shorthand and won two of their games ploy a dummy player Write about some folk and their game seems to Improve like George Powell and Jim Fisher Fisher fooled us all with a 120 finish this week after last weeks mention John Mills shot 140 and Dennis hit lie Murphy had three starts and a finish Mike Pepper had two starts and three finishes Laurie Hopkins htghed on ill Tim Field on 125 and Grant Richardson shot a ton Exports were another shorthand ed outfit and came through against Firemen to win the odd game in This weeks matchups art potential hot game between and Hustlers and another with ports and Mights in opposition should not hove much trouble with Firemen and a low team clash with Panthers and In dependents rounds off the First Second Division Snowjacks face near challengers Bulldogs Aces Bandits could surprise Hollers on recent form and In County have a free with a nine game default win Surprise What can I say Who would have thought it hie A team from
