Cubs 4 - 4 Bedrock Bowlers The Cubs finally put a stop to their five match losing streak after this draw with Bedrock Bowlers but it is still ten matches since the Cubs last felt what a win feels like and despite the draw the Cubs are still rooted to the bottom of the league tables. The Cubs started in a steady manner in game one, just managing to keep Bedrock Bowlers at bay, started off with a twenty nine pin lead the Cubs just did enough to win the game by eight pins. Game two was better for the Cubs as they not only kept their twenty nine pin head start they added to it, only one pin mind, but this was enough to give them a thirty pin win and looking good for a win. Game three was to show the frailties of the Cubs as they allowed a winning position to slip from their grasp, with Bedrock Bowlers bowling much better in this game the Cubs were unable to go with them which allowed Bedrock to win the game by sixty three pins which gave them the game and the overall for the draw, but a draw is better than a loss and gives the Cubs a bit of heart in their search for a win.
