Week 9 produced some very close games, 3 x 5-5 draws and a few 6-4 wins, the group averaged just under the 80 mark at 77.64 (11 players) so the standard was high once again. 21 180’s with Brad Austen hitting 6, the most of the evening. Highest peg of week 9 went to Damo with a 160 out in his match versus Brad, an entertaining 5-5 contest with both players pushing the 90 average mark and the 160 peg surpassing the previous season best of 156 out held by Matt Brown.

Onto the other matches, Matt and Mick stretched their unbeaten runs to two weeks, Matt with a win and a draw taking 3 points and Mick taking the maximum 4 from his two wins. The experience of Kim Lewis saw him produce a fight back from 4-0 down against Dave to run out a 6-4 winner. Kim also won his first game of the evening against the improving Joe Salter who registered his highest single game average of the season 77.61 and was unlucky on pegs or it could of been much closer than the 6-2 end scoreline. Kim taking 4 points on the night to move into 3rd above Dave on legs won.
