Round 4 of the 2021 Super League was played out on Tuesday night and last night and produced a few surprises.
First up was Meteors v Minotaurs on Tuesday which, on paper, seemed to suggest a comfortable win for Minotaurs but it proved to be anything but. Vickie & Pete had got a very close game against Ben & Rob under control when needing one point they had three boule in hand. They failed to take it and Marauders punished them to come back and win 13-12. In the other game Katrina & Richard kept a tight reign on Jayne & Bernard. At 8-8 and with the possibility of Minotaurs going 0-2 down, Meteors left the door open and Minotaurs experience finally showed when they pointed in 5 for a 13-8 win.
In the second pair of games, Ben & Rob were leading against Jayne & Bernard but their challenge faded and Minotaurs pulled away to to win 13-6. On the other piste Katrina & Richard were leading Vickie & Pete for most of the game but again just fell short at the last hurdle and went down 10-13. The score, 3-1 [51-37], flattered the Minotaurs as Meteors had made them sweat on a cold night.
Last night Marauders took on Monarchs and Monarchs were immediately in trouble with Tom & Amanda racing to a 13-4 win against Roger & Mike. Meanwhile the two Gills were giving Tony & Sean a run for their money before finally succumbing 10-13 for a score of 1-1 at the halfway point.
In the reverse games, Roger & Mike went down 4-13 to the Gill combo whilst Tony & Sean were again put under pressure by Tom & Amanda with Monarchs just squeaking through for a 13-12 win leaving the final score 2-2 [48-34] and a very creditable draw and points win for the Marauders.
