Messrs Green and Wigg were 12-4 up but Ian and Beryl had other ideas, pointing in for 4 to make it 12-8. Two more points from the McCarthys made it 12-10 and an upset was on the cards, until Roger and Mike got 3 points to close the game.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">In the second round Ros and Derek were outplayed by Roger and Wiggy, losing 3-13. Ian and Beryl took a 3-point lead over Roger and Mike and were looking dangerous, with Beryl pointing well as usual. However, the Monarchs pulled it back and finally won 13-6 to secure a 4-0 result.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">Once again the Mystics displayed a fighting spirit that does them credit and will bring them success the more they play together.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">On Wednesday evening Minotaurs faced Marauders and, as has become the norm for this fixture, it poured down. At least it wasn&#8217;t persistent rain but a series of very heavy showers!<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">In the first games Minotaurs Bernard &amp; Jayne faced Phil &amp; John Chich whilst Peter K and Barney took on Marauders Gill Clark &amp; Amanda. Bernard &amp; Jayne took an early lead but were pegged back by Phil &amp; Chich who went on to win 13-8. Minotaurs Peter K &amp; Barney fared better against Gill &amp; Amanda taking a comfortable 13-4 win. So all square at the break and all to play for.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">The second half got underway with Marauders Phil &amp; Chich taking a commanding 11-6 lead over Minotaurs. Peter K &amp; Barney refused to lie down and chipped away at the lead and found themselves leading 12-11. With Minotaurs holding and game on the floor Phil played the shot of night by shooting Minotaurs&#8217; boule with a spot carreau to give Marauders 2 points for a 13-12 win. What a finish! On the other piste Minotaurs Bernard &amp; Jayne were looking set for a crushing win but Gill and Amanda staged a comeback. Minotaurs then re-found a bit of form and ran out 13-9 winners. So another Minotaurs v Marauders norm was continued &#8211; a draw &#8211; but as usual a closely fought enjoyable match.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Round 6 of the Super League was played out this week on Tuesday &amp; Wednesday evenings.
