Our Ladies Season get underway on the 8^th.September so for more information on their progress look out for our October report.

Three Counties Skittle League - operates on Monday nights and our Club team The Tree Rats will be doing their best again next season.  Having been bottom of the league for the last few years any improvement will be counted as a success.

In contrast the following league has just concluded its season with some success coming to both of Thorncombe’s teams.

Summer Club’s League – This league has now drawn to a close with the last games being played on the 22^nd.August. Thorncombe “B” had a great finish that included big wins against The Latecomers who were last year’s champions and the eventual winners this season and Thorncombe Tornadoes.  The Tornadoes made up for their set back against the “B” team when they came from nowhere to grab the League runner-up spot after beating the most likely challengers, Axe Vale “A”, in their very last game of the season. Unfortunately, in a reversal of fortunes, the Tornadoes did not successfully defend their position of last years Knock-out Cup Champions and lost their final match against Axe Vale “A” by just one pin!

Chris Atyeo of Thorncombe “B” (pictured left) successfully defended his Men’s Individual title at the Axminster Conservative Club on the Leagues Presentation Night. It was not a run-a-way victory as he just saw off the challenge from Lloyd Dare of Wootton Club by just one pin with his very last throw of the night.
