Tigers 3's 8 - 0 Can't Score Won't Score After last week's 8-0 defeat of Team Dave the team were in good heart but a last minute drop out from Martin Longyear due to a tummy bug didn't dampen that feeling and it showed in the depleted teams performance as they went on to defeat Can't Score Won't Score by the same margin. League leaders Can't Score Won't Score were put under the cosh by two man Tigers in game one, the Tigers soon had the handicap difference wiped out and started to increase their lead quite early in the game and in fact they had increased their lead to eighty six pins by the end of the game. Game two was a lot closer and it took a lot longer for the Tigers to get the handicap pinfall under control this game, in fact it didn't look good for the Tigers going into the ninth frame but after several opens from Cant Score in the last two frames all Graham Burnett needed in the tenth frame after getting his double was to keep the ball on the lanes which he did giving the Tigers a twelve pin win. Although down hearted and not bowling that well Can't Score still plugged away but this didn't stop the Tigers wiping out the handicap difference by the fourth frame although the pinfall was going from plus to minus situation with each frame, but another late collapse from Can't Score allowed the Tigers to snuck in grab the points, this time by forty two pins.
