Match Report

Syston Cons B became only the third side this century to complete the Syston & District Skittle League Cup double when defeating League Champions, Wymeswold Cons, in the KO Cup Final to add to the Porter Cup which they had retained the previous week against Top House of Thurmaston.  Although missing a couple of key players, Wymeswold made a positive start with an opening leg 34 which included a 9 from skipper, Ian Merryweather.  Syston's response ultimately fell one pin short despite 8's from both Graham Spawton and Chris Buxton.  However, from one leg behind, Syston took charge of the game and consistent scoring throughout the side allowed them to post two competitive legs of 35 and take a 2-1 lead in the best of five format.  Syston maintained the pressure with their fourth 30+ leg of the evening, including an 8 from Malc Sibson, for a total that eventually proved beyond Wymeswold and secured the victory by 3 legs to 1.  Graham Spawton top scored for Syston with 27 and was well supported by Dave Clark's 26 and Chris Buxton's 24.  Wymeswold's Rae Porter hit the top score of the evening with 28 while Ian Merryweather added a solid 27.  A competitive final with some excellent skittling played in a good spirit and a great advert for the League.
