THE RETURN OF THE CAT!

  Andy "The Cat" Birks returned to his old haunting ground when Stickney took on Lodgers C and he made an impression by beating Scott "The Windmill" Sykes in three straight, with Scott not being able to get to grips with his anti-loop. The Cat was looking to sink his claws into another of his team-mates when he was 1-2 up on Andy Pocklington but Andy dug deep to take the next two ends 11-8, 11-4. Lodger's Steve Allen was the player of the match, winning all of his singles, dropping just one end to Adam Ellis although Jane Ellis pushed him close, losing all three but by slim margins. Adam Ellis was the pick of the Stickney players, beating Andy Pocklington in three straight and recovering from being a set down to Scott and 6-10 in the second to win the next three ends. With the score poised at 5-4, the doubles took on extra significance with Scott/Steve taking on Adam and Jane Ellis. The Lodger's duo took the first end 11-6 before Stickney hit back in the second 9-11. The third was a close affair with Adam and Jane on the brink of winning before Scott and Steve snuck in and stole it 12-10 before closing out the match, taking the fifth end 11-8 and the match 6-4.
