Skittles Fixtures
We’re charging into the halfway mark of the season, and Passing Shots are still clinging to poll position with all the grace of a cat on a hot tin roof! Meanwhile, the New Road Angels have taken a dramatic tumble from 2nd to 7th—though don’t write them off just yet; with two games in hand, they might just be biding their time…
Interstella are hot on the leaders’ heels, stealthily chipping away at the gap—and with a game in hand themselves, they might just eclipse the front-runners when the time is right. Westenders are holding their ground in a solid 3rd, and our fresh-faced contenders University of Life are putting in a plucky performance with some cracking results.
Lurking in the shadows, the Angry Pigeon Club—our silent assassins—are fluttering up the rankings, inching past the Optimists, who also hold a game in hand. The Pigeons may be flying high for now, but things could shift in a heartbeat.
Bowling Diamonds have found their gem in star player “A.N.Other,” who’s practically dragging the team to glory single-handedly. Syndicate can finally breathe a sigh of relief—they’ve got some points on the board and are no longer propping up the table.
And finally… Zumbies—ever the loveable underdogs—have reclaimed their rightful place at the bottom. Yes, they’re on track once more to secure the coveted wooden spoon, and no doubt they’ll be raising a glass in celebration!

What's on This summer
The Ultimate Killer Skittles night was great fun and a HUGE congratulations to one of the Bowling Diamonds winning the entire comp and pocketing £80 cash prize.
Next, don’t miss Race Night on 2 August, cheering for your favourite horse and trying your luck for some winnings.

Winter Skittles: End-of-Season Round-Up
As we wrap up another unforgettable skittles season, here’s a summary of the highlights, stats, and moments that made us laugh, cheer, and sometimes wonder if the pins were secretly glued down:
-
Individual and Team Stats:
-
Congratulations to the winners of each category in the individual stats for each league—your precision and skill are unmatched (except by those pesky pins that just wouldn’t budge).
-
Some ties across Divisions 1 and 3 prove that even when we’re rivals, we can’t help but share the glory.
-
Team stats for the league are also included—ideal reading material if you’re looking to settle friendly debates, or just show off.
-
As always, feedback is welcome! If you hear any interesting thoughts about the tables, stats, or that one match where physics clearly took a day off, please let me know!

Season Comparisons & Observations:
-
The shiny new pins introduced last summer may look innocent, but don’t be fooled—they’ve made the game harder for even the most seasoned skittler's. Here’s the proof:
-
Average pins per game: 233 this season, compared to 242 last season—down 9 pins per game (those pins are clearly training in evasive maneuvers).
-
Average leg per game: 38.9 this season, compared to 40.3 last season—a drop of 1.4 pins per leg (don’t worry, it’s not us, it’s the pins).
-
Total spares: 524 this season, versus 787 last season—down 263 spares! Division 1 did have fewer games due to only 9 teams, but still, it seems the pins were having a “no spares allowed” policy.
-
Highest total pins in any game: Interstella with 289 pins, down from last season’s 314 by Great Balls of Fire. The new pins are clearly doing their job of humbling us all.

A Season to Remember:
-
Despite the tricky new pins, it’s been a fantastic season filled with twists, turns, and moments where we all questioned the laws of physics. Title races and relegation battles kept us on the edge of our seats, proving that skittles is as much about strategy and teamwork as it is about getting lucky with a well-aimed throw.
-
A big thank-you to everyone who played, supported, organized, and cheered—whether you got a flopper or a spare or narrowly avoided the gaps, you’ve made this season truly special.
-
Looking ahead to next season, let’s embrace the challenges, the rivalries, and, of course, the hilarious mishaps that remind us why we enjoy this social game. Here’s to more laughs, cheers, and perhaps a few pins that finally decide to cooperate!
