FOR the third consecutive week the Highwaymen of Wednesday Division One of the E&E Engineering sponsored Worcester Friendly Skittle League have played in a game decided by a single pin.

Highwaymen opened up with 84, but the Castings took the initiative scoring 102 to lead by 18.

Back came the Highwaymen to take the next two legs to reduce the deficit to five.

The Castings stormed to a fouth leg 101 to stretch their advantage to 12.

This looked to be more than enough as the Highwaymen stuggled to 69 off 10. But Gary Hanson turned the game around an 18 spare and Mitch Fowles chipped in with a 13.

Chasing 90, New Castings did not start well, just 36 from the top half, but John Carey fired in a 17 to keep the game alive.

As anchorman Darren Brace stepped on to the alley a spare was needed to win and 9 for a draw. He came so close with an 8.
