Game 1 - ultra competitive with much sledging from certain nameless individuals .
There was even some tactical movement from lane to lane to try and off put the professional rhythm of competitive bowlers . ( Naughty - but effective !)
To maintain bowling momentum - finger food was served at a cracking pace . Can I just say , that greasy fingers may have worked as a disadvantage for some teams - and a big plus for others !
Game one - finalised - added team scores are - - - Team A 495 Team Family 486 Salvo ’ s 457 Twinkle Toes 330
It ’ s all very , very close . More finger food , more greasy fingers - onto game 2 .
