It was a hard-earned victory for Lodgers C when they visited Wrangle with the scoreline not reflecting how close the matches really were. Sam Cooper got the best possible start taking the first end against No. 3 ranked Steve Allen and nearly took the second before losing 10-12, before Steve got his attack on song to take the next two ends for a nervy victory. Sam did fare better in his next match-up though, against Scott Sykes coming from two ends down to take the next three in a well deserved victory. He nearly managed a second point being 2-1 up against Andy Pocklington but Andy put in an impressive stint to comfortably take the next two ends. Pete Evans started his evening up with arguably the match of the night against Scott Sykes. In what is traditionally a very close game, the two traded ends before a tense fifth where Scott just sneaked it 10-12. Pete fared better in his second match-up against Andy Pocklington in another incredibly close five-ender, this time Pete sneaking the decider 11-9. In his final match-up against Steve Allen, despite some fine rallies, Pete couldn't quite get to grips with Steve's attacking, Steve taking the match in straight ends. It was a tough night for Dave Coulson though, with only one end against Scott Sykes to show for all his hard work. With Scott and Steve beating Sam and Pete in straight ends in the doubles, it was an excellent hard-fought 2-8 victory for Lodgers.
