Champions Port survive battle in first Winter League match

Sat, 14 Oct 2017

Excitement and high scores were the order of the day as the Winter Indoor League got under way.

There were thrills aplenty in a titanic top division tussle at Kirk Michael where the home side came within five points of shocking champions Port St Mary.

Ashley Gardner notched a 99 for PSM along with club mate Kevan Kneale to ease them ahead but Perryn Watson pulled out a 99 too while there was a phalanx of 97s from Suzanne McKnight, Alex Trafford, Alisha Gale and the club's 12 year-old prodigy, Noah Mayne.

There were more straightforward wins in Divisions 2 and 3 as Kirk Michael's lack of strength in numbers let them down.
