Ian Merryweather once again top scoring for the home side with an excellent 25.

 

 

Syston Cons B also remain unbeaten following a 3-1 win at home over Sileby WMC .. in a low scoring encounter, Syston Cons B went behind early and appeared fortunate to take the next three legs as the visitors struggled to get to grips with the Malthouse alley .. to underline the home side's below par performance, this was the first game since the League's return from Covid in 2021 that they had posted a four leg aggregate below 100 .. a run of 88 games .. only Sileby's Mark Boettcher managed to reach the 20 pin total for the evening. 

 
 
Queniborough Wanderers recorded back to back victories with a 3-1 win over visitors Barrow Cons .. the home side raced into a 2-0 lead before the visitors pulled one back by posting a 38 to equal the highest leg of the season so far .. the game looked to be heading for a draw in the fourth leg until the home side's final pairing posted a 7 and a 9 to chase down their target and secure the win .. Alan Whitmee top scored for Queniborough with 26 and Colin Pembleton's 24 included the League's only 9 of the week .. Brent Dalby top scored for the visitors with 24.   
 
 
Syston Social enjoyed their visit to the British Legion alley in Melton and came away with a comfortable 3-1 victory .. the visitors went 3-0 up with a series of strong legs which included equalling the season's highest leg to date of 38 pins .. Carington Arms did manage a consolation in the final leg of the evening but it was the away side's consistency which proved to be the difference as all six Syston Social players posted totals of 20 or 21 on the night .. a rare achievement.
