Carington Arms 2-2 Carington Cons

Wymeswold Cons 3-1 Sileby WMC

Syston Social Club 3-1 Top House

Syston Cons B 2-2 Barrow Cons 

 

Wymeswold Cons made it three wins from the opening three games but struggled to establish superiority over visitors Sileby WMC with their four leg total on the night proving to be one of their lowest at home in the last five seasons .. the away side responded to a below par opening leg by posting the highest total of the evening to level at 1-1 and probably felt they should have gone in front when needing just 9 from the last pair to take the third leg .. the home side however managed to hang on for the 2-1 lead and sealed the win by an emphatic margin in the final leg .. Ian Merryweather returned to the form that saw him lead the averages last season to top score with an excellent 25.

 
 
Syston Social Club moved into second place in the table with a 3-1 win over previously unbeaten Top House .. leading 2-1, the home side were left chasing 28 in the final leg to secure the points and had to rely on the Low Scorer rule as their top scorer, Karl Wooster, managed to keep his nerve and confirm the victory .. Karl had earlier managed to score the only 9 of the Week 2 fixtures. 
 
 
Syston Cons B raced into a 2-0 lead at home to Barrow Cons but were pegged back by two much improved legs from the visitors .. it was another inconsistent effort from the home side who barely managed to chase down 22 to take the second leg before trying to chase down 28 in the final leg to secure the win .. last man Chris Buxton was left needing 9 to tie but could only manage an 8 to leave both sides sharing the points .. Dave Clark top scoring for Syston Cons with 22. 
 
 
The Carington derby at the Melton British Legion proved to be a very tight affair with three of the four legs decided by just one pin and just a two pin margin in the fourth .. it was nip and tuck all night with the highlights being the 8 from last man Dave Williams to secure the third leg for the Cons and Nigel Hough's 6 with the last throw of the night to pinch the fourth leg for the Carington Arms and ensure that the points were rightly shared on the night .. Kev Troop for the Carington Arms and Graham Stockdale and Dave Williams for the Carington Cons all hit excellent 24's for their respective teams.
