THE final of the Worcester and District Skittle League king pin competition saw Budgies running out winners by eight pins against Westsiders at Archdales.

Westsiders won the first three legs by three, four and one pin respectively to lead by eight. A fourth leg of 80 by Budgies, however, meant the game was all-square with just one leg to bowl.

When Budgies' anchorman Dave Jones went on to bowl he needed seven to win and made no mistake with a 14 spare.

The final of this season's singles and doubles competitions will be played on Friday at the Portobello.
