Tigers 4's  2507 - 2330 XFP Yo-Yo's Well, it came down to the last match of the group stage to decide who went through to the matchplay section with Saab Hopefuls, whoever was to win between the Tigers and Yo-Yo's would be that team, thankfully it was the Tigers as they smacked Yo-Yo's to claim that second place spot to go into the quarter finals. Game one saw the Tigers gain a commanding lead as Yo-Yo's failed to turn up, with one hundred and twenty four pins between the teams after the first game Yo-Yo's would have to bowl really well to come back into this match, which they didn't, the Tigers were to also claim the second game this time by nineteen pins, things were looking really good for the Tigers at this stage and all they had to do was keep doing what they had been doing all evening to claim the win, Yo-Yo's pulled nine pins back in game three but it was miles to little and miles to late as the Tigers romped home in the match by one hundred and seventy seven pins. As of yet the Tigers opponents in the quarter finals are unknown but the last eight are very tasty and whoever the Tigers draw they will have to be on top form.
