		<title>More than equal to the task</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After our return to form last week we were desperate to put on a good showing this week too. This was a crucial game for us as the Inequalities are the only team capable of taking our second spot in the league.
The team was unchanged from our success last week and Dawn and Sean opened [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to winning ways</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After our crushing defeat at the hands of The Bolts we needed a good result to restore morale. Thankfully the team was on fire and, from our lowest score this season last week, we recorded our highest this week. The game was against the Crawfords Crackers and they&#8217;re a fun team and the games are [...]]]></description>

		<title>123 &#8211; not as easy as ABC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It had to end, up until last night The Lifers were an undefeated force in the realm of UoB Winter skittles. However, all good things must come to an end and it&#8217;s hard to have a more stark ending than being on the receiving end of a proper pasting by another team.
The Bolts are always [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smashing the bottles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a strong game last time out and, as we&#8217;re nearing the end of the league, things are really hotting up. We know that several of the other top running teams have games in hand on us so it&#8217;s important that we keep up the pressure.
We&#8217;ve played the Bottlers (nee Airheads) quite a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poetry in motion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a close match last time out The Lifers were keen to give a good showing this week. Brownian Motion are another new side but with a joint-holder of the current top men&#8217;s score on their side we were careful not to underestimate them.
Jim and Steve C opened up for the home side and quickly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closer than a close thing getting very friendly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was the first time we&#8217;d played Axiom This! They&#8217;re another new team this year but come from the same stable as the Inequalities, so this was likely to be a tough game.
The first pair started well with Dawn and Sean scoring consistently. This was Dawn&#8217;s first game on the new alley and after an [...]]]></description>

		<title>A close shave from the Brazilians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our first game of 2008, and the team started as they meant to go on by congregating at the newly opened Colston Yard pub. Hoping for some inspiration, several pints of Butcombe&#8217;s fine Brunel IPA were quaffed before a near-sprint up the hill to open the alley and make the 7:30 start.
New-boys (and girl) &#8216;Maracana&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mopheads taken to the cleaners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our second match of the season looked like it would be a tough one. The Mopheads beat PUS in their first game and they also beat us the last time we faced them last season.
Doug and Dave started strongly for the Mopheads but Steve C and Paul  countered their threat despite it being the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The alley is dead. Long live the alley!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New season, new opponents, new alley, new balls, new pins, better beer&#8230; you might as well rip up the form book!
7:30pm on the 4th December 2007 was a step into the unknown for The Lifers. Our opening match was against the Engideers &#8211; one of the new teams. Ours was also the first game of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new alley is born</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been almost seven months since we last threatened nine pins at the end of an alley but the long wait is now over.
After a gestation period equivalent to that of a black bear the University of Bristol&#8217;s brand new skittle alley has been born. The new facility is located in the undergraduate refectory, under [...]]]></description>
