RESERVISTS beat Cottage Pies by 25 pins to set up an exciting finish to Wellington Ex-Services Skittles League's Gerald Thorne Championship.

It's now all to play for play this coming Friday. Holywell Lake will retain their title if they beat Home Guard II at the Football Club.

Reservists need to beat Queens Legs at the Conservative Club upstairs and hope Home Guard II can get one over Holywell Lake. For the second season running the GT Championship goes down to the wire! Scores: Reservists 275, Cottage Pies 254.
