IT wasn’t too far for the ladies from Totnes Skittles Club to travel this year as the finals were held at Boots and Laces, Torquay.

Ilfracombe provided the opposition in both the quarter and semi-finals after a first-round bye. Ilfracombe B led until the final end when spares from Angela Worth, Jane Hingston and Sarah Life turned the game in Totnes’ favour with an 8-pin win. Angela top scored with 56.

Next was a more comfortable win over their A team. Three spares in a top score of 64 again from Angela was supported by Caitlyn Kneil with 62. A final end of 83 sealed a 39-pin win.

The ‘auld enemy’ Barnstaple were the final opponents. After taking the lead, Totnes fell by the wayside and Barnstaple’s control prevailed, winning by 16. Jane top scored with 56.

Singles champion Ann Robinson got as far as the semi-finals before going out.
