The Beers Bury The Blockbusters

Blockbusters should stick to Quiz's
We meet The Blockbuster in the cup again. This year we have got the better of them in the league, but in the past we have always failed against them in cup matches. This has to stop.
Tricky night for me as The Sexy Bristols also have a darts match at the other end of the Earth.
As a result Mrs G has agreed to drive us over to darts later, (thank-you).
Mrs G and The Model Y open our attack with a solid 84. Mrs G with 38, and Y with an excellent 46. We lead by 5 pins. The 1933 Model Y, think we might be making these again soon.
Points are irrelevant in cup games so will be no mention. I played now with M3/452, but was poor hitting the 3rd worst score of our team with 31. M3 held us up with a fine 39, deserved more, but we still pulled out another 5 pins. We now leave venue to battle for the Sexy Bristols.
Unfortunately we have temporarily robbed the team of captain Mrs G, and rudderless we flounder a bit. Guinevere without a quiver hits 27, The Weld misses the spot with a 26. The team drop 10 pins, and its all level.
Next on we have The Prof and The Whistler. With a slide-rule and a little tune they notch up a 37 and a 40, and we pull out another 5 pins.
Our penultimate pairing of Lancelot and Toyah score a very reasonable 40 and 38, another 2 pins profit. We are now 7 pins up going in to the last pair.
We play our usual anchor pair of Chippy Minton and The Wizard, but they will be up against Captain Peacock and his preferred partner Mr Humphries. These 2 (much as I dislike them) have won the Scrumpy Town pairs competition before, and as such need to be treated with some skittling respect.
Chippy on the other hand chose to show no respect and took the pick axe straight out the bag with a stonking 46. Backed up with solid 34 from The Wiz. Mr Humphries failed with a dismal 31, while Captain Peacock crashed and burned with a 26. Chippy and Wiz pulled 23, match won by 30. Two 46's kitty rollover.
"Are you free Mr Humphries?". Well he will be free on semi-final night when we play The Newcomers.On Your Knees Blockbusters.
