29th Oct 10. Tatti's 421 Wellies 338
The Tatti's were on top form for the visit of Wellies & flattened their best ever total of 421 to win by a massive 83 pins.
They chalked up ELEVEN spares during the contest, with every leg above a hundred apart from the second where a 3 & a 4 meant they could only manage 97!
Westy (right) topped the scoring with 43 (9,9,16,9) while Berti & Phil Hill scored 42, & Boundy also made next week's paper with 40.
   
 
22nd Oct 10. Woodentops 320 Tatti's 328
With the Commonwealth games out of the way, & gold medal bagged, Rob could finally focus on the more important matter of playing skittles.
He returned to action at the Barrels against bottom of the table Woodentops, & the scene of his wooden spoon effort of 15 two years previously. Old timers, Gash Senior & Junior, were both present & apart from Statto's nine & a brilliantly taken twelve by Prycer, they were both shaking their heads at the quality of the skittling on display. At the half way point the Bogoes were fifteen pins adrift, & in danger of losing their 100% record. However, Stuee's third leg thirteen gave them hope, & as Rob finished his return match with an eleven, they at least left Woodentops a reasonble target of 82. In the end it turned out to be enough by eight pins.
   
 
15th Oct 10. Tatti's 369 Evans SC 356
The Tatti's continued their 100% start to the season with a 13 pins victory over historically their biggest title rivals Evans SC.
 With a few players unable to attend, & their Commonwealth Games record breaker Rob Weale (most number of medals for a bowler; six) still airborne, flying back from Delhi, the Bogoes were a player short. So Stuee Griffiths called on his father, Tony, to make his debut.
Tony put in a solid performace to help the Tatti's on their way to a vital win, & remain at the top of the table, with a game in hand. Top score, 37, was shared by Berti, Ali, & Westy.
   
 
8th Oct 10. Away match against Beevers postponed

Congratulations to Rob Weale, who won a Commonwealth Games gold medal in the men's bowls singles, after beating Australia's Leif Selby in a thrilling three-set final in Delhi.
Rob commented afterwards "It's an absolutely fantastic moment for me. Obviously you dream of winning gold, but I've had a couple of goes at it now in the singles, & it's 3rd time lucky for me. I've had bronze in 2002, silver in 2006, & now gold. This is the icing on the cake, I'm over the moon. He added, "I've been World Indoors Champion, & I've had Commonwealth gold before in the fours but with so many near misses - I've had three silvers in the Commonwealths which ended in defeat to the Aussies - I've finally put one accross on them" .
   
 
1st Oct 10. Tatti's 378 Ramblers 324
The Tatti's were on top form last Friday to brush aside the challenge of Ramblers with a 54 pins victory at the Lads Club.
 Boundy was quick off the mark again to floor his fourth spare of the season a 16 in a good 97 first leg. Ramblers soon found themselves a huge 33 pins behind after a dismal 64, & if there was any doubt left about the result Prycer ended them by starting the second leg with a 12, & finishing the third with a 17, to top score with 46, & complete two back to back 40's.
Phil Hill celebrated his 50th birthday last weekend (Sunday), & should have scored the winning pins. Unfortunately Allan stole his limelight when he accidentally played out of turn, doh!
