Tigers 4's  8 - 0 Bye Team The Tigers took on themselves this week as they were playing the Bye Team hoping to at least get some points on board, usually the Tigers find it hard to maintain a high level of bowling when they have to play their own scratch scores and usually come away with a defeat or draw at best. This year was to be different though as the Tigers got off to a winning start in game one, starting off like an express train things did start to get a little bogged down towards the end of the game but the Tigers hung on for a eight pin win. Game two wasn't looking good at all, a very poor start piled the pressure on the Tigers and the gap between the scores was getting wider and wider and going into the tenth frame it looked like a miracle was needed, with the Bye Team completed the Tigers needed one hundred and thirty odd pins in the last frame to win, which somehow they did plus a bit more as they won the game by ten pins. Game three proved comfortable compared to the first two games as the Tigers hit their best game of the evening to romp ! home by thirty five pins and the Tigers were looking at their first win against themselves for the first time in ages, but more importantly it keeps the Tigers in with a chance of the league title, admittedly a small chance.
