The Lamb Shankers from the Lamb Inn, Worle, were victorious in the Blackthorn Skittles Championship plate final.

THE Blackthorn Skittles Championship took place on Saturday at The Riviera Centre in Torquay.

It was a nightmare trip for Weston’s five mens, ladies and mixed teams in the main event, who all went out out in the first round.

All were then entered into the plate trophy, won by the mens team from the Lamb Inn, Worle. The Lamb Shankers – otherwise known as the Alleycats, had six exciting matches on their way to victory.
