Success For The Highwaymen!
In their very first season back skittling at The Merry Harriers, the magnificent Highwaymen have scooped the Blackdown Hills Division Two League title by a nailbiting one point.
Admirably led by the hard-playing, hard-drinking Brian "Gooner" Sydenham, The Highwaymen only lost 2 matches throughout the season. They were also semi-finalists in the Goodman Cup competition.
The Highwaymen will now mix it with the very best Blackdown Hills skittlers in the Premier Division when the new season starts in September 2007.
Come on you Robbers!
