Round 3 of the 2021 Super League continued this evening with the clash of the titans, Monarchs & Minotaurs. Monarchs were looking to get an advantage over Minotaurs to help them rest the Super Cup from the holders, Minotaurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first set of matches Roger Griffin & Mike came up against Bernard & Jayne and quickly found themselves 0-6 down. With some dogged play gaining ones and the odd two, Monarchs clawed their way back and passed Minotaurs to lead 10-6. Minotaurs re-found their mojo taking 1, 3 and 3 on successive ends to close out the game 13-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the other game Roger Green and Sean found themselves 1-10 down to Pete and Rose and even though they started to get themselves back in the game they never really put pressure on Minotaurs who ran out 13-8 winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with a 2-0 lead at the change over, things were looking good for Minotaurs. Bernard & Jayne took a 4-0 lead over Roger & Sean but a glance over at the other game showed Pete & Rose trailing 0-7 so things were going to be very tight. Moments later a look at the score boards showed Roger & Sean creeping back into the game with Roger & Mike now leading 9-0. Things were looking decidedly sticky for Minotaurs to gain the one win they needed for victory. It got even worse for Minotaurs as Roger & Mike pulled into a 11-0 lead and Roger & Sean took the lead at 6-4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally Pete & Rose got a point for 1-11 while Bernard & Jayne were slowly being left behind. As Roger & Sean eased away, the other scoreboard revealed that Monarchs were still on 11 but Minotaurs were up to 8. Pete & Rose had the bit between their teeth and continued scoring to record a remarkable comeback to take the game 13-11. Bernard & Jayne, however, could not replicate their achievement and Roger & Sean took the game comfortable by 13-4 but this left Minotaurs with a 3-1 win which kept them at the top of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been a terrific match played an a good spirit and both teams are looking forward to the return fixture in Round 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
