Hoe’s & Bros Crowned Torquay Skittles Weekend Champions in First Season Together

A newly formed team made up of friends from Barry in South Wales and Worcester celebrated a memorable victory after being crowned champions at the Serious About Events Torquay Skittles Weekend after competing against 34 other teams.

Remarkably, it was the first time Hoe’s & Bros had ever played together as a team, making the success even more special for the players involved.

The side was put together this season by captain Ceri Lambeth, bringing together a group of friends who had met over the years through skittles weekends and championship events.
Ceri said: “I would say we never expected to win, but that would be a lie. I put the team together because I wanted to win and I knew we had a really good chance of doing that with the players we had. But to actually win it was one of the best feelings ever. After so many years of attending these events, we finally done it!”

The team consists of five men and five women from Barry and surrounding areas in South Wales and Worcester, with players building strong friendships through years of attending skittles weekends together.

Away from the alley, the players come from a wide range of professions including marketing management, project support, sports therapy and cardiac specialist nursing, while all continuing to represent different local skittles teams in their own areas.

Their mix of experience, friendship and competitive spirit proved the perfect combination during the weekend as they battled through to lift the trophy in Torquay.

The victory marked a special moment for a team brought together not by one local club, but through years of shared memories and friendships built at Serious About Events weekends.

Killer Instinct Crowned Weston Skittles Champions for Second Year Running

Gloucestershire skittles team Killer Instinct pulled off a surprise victory at the Serious About Events Weston Skittles Weekend, securing their second tournament title in just their second appearance at the popular event.

Despite arriving at the finals after a mixed run of scores earlier in the weekend, the team produced some outstanding performances when it mattered most.

Captain Karen “Kaz” Lewis said: “It was a surprise to win the tournament although we had won our games leading up to the finals, they weren’t the best scores. On the day we had some crazy scores with one player getting five spares on five legs!”

One of the standout performers was Chris Birt, who was named man of the match in the final after scoring an incredible 71 with five spares. He came agonisingly close to becoming the tournament’s highest male scorer, narrowly missing out on the top spot of 74.

The team have been playing together for around four years after first getting together “for a laugh” as a group of Pokémon players. Since then, they have risen rapidly through the ranks of the Gloucester league, starting out in Division Three or Four before recently earning promotion to the elite Premier League.

Their success on the skittles alley is built as much on friendship as talent.

“Our team works well together because we have a laugh, lots of banter and, when needed, alcohol!” joked Kaz.

The squad also has several family connections. Chris Birt and Neil Birt are twins, while “Captain Bubbles” Kaz and Chris “Birty the five spare man” Birt are partners. The team’s home sticker even features the son of one of the players.

Away from skittles, team members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including FE plumbing and electrical teaching, electrical work, delivery driving, golf trolley manufacturing and supervision roles. Several players also compete for other local skittle teams.

The team also boasts sporting success beyond skittles, with captain Kaz recently winning women’s team gold medal and team trophy honours in traditional thumb ring archery.

Killer Instinct are already looking ahead to next year’s Weston weekend where they hope to complete a remarkable hat-trick of titles.
