The Weston District League beat the Wrington League to retain the inter-league cup.

THE second inter-league game with the Wrington Vale took place at the Golden Lion in Worle and resulted in a win for the District League to retain the cup.

The District got of to a good start with Ian Norton starting the match with two spares on the first two hands played and went on to hit the top score for the District with 63.

Not to be outdone, Mike Edmonds of the Wrington team started with three nines and had two spares in doing and also finished with 63 as Wrington took a six-pin advantage into the second set.

The second set was a nip and tuck all the way through and the two notable scores in this set was Jason Francis with 48 for the District and Wrington’s Kevin Buck with 47. The Wrington team extended the lead by a further pin.

The third set began with Pete Blackwell getting two spares to finish with 61. The Wrington team took a bit of a battering in this set and duly lost the set by 31 pins.

Going into the last set, the District side had a 24-pin start over the Wrington team and with Martin Taylor hitting a 14 spare on the first hand, it got a lot harder for them to come back.

Andy Harris hit a 13 spare and finish with 57 for the Wrington team, but Weston came back with Russ Loud hitting a 15 spare to finish with 51, while Taylor finished on 53 as the District ran out 567-534 winners.
