Welcome to the Clive Rams Skittles site
The Rams play out of the Clive Arms pub in John Street, Penarth. The team play in the first division of the Penarth and District Skittles league for the second season running after finishing mid table last season.
After 10 seasons playing as the "Clive Arms" the the men's team has now changed its name to the Clive Rams.
The Clive Arms alley is well
know in Penarth as the shortest alley in the league, much to the distaste of
many of the visiting players. Many fingers have been bruised and battered on the
door at the end of the alley and some teams "cheat" by opening the door to roll.
The alley itself is remarkably level and smooth, the wood having been laid by
local legend Peter Rundle, and despite its short length it is by no means the
highest scoring alley in the league.
The Clive team is Also known (to some) for the last game of the season fancy dress. This season, watch out the Marauders!
The Pub
The Clive Arms may be known by many people for its alien
theme, however they may be taken aback when they next visit to find that the
aliens,
along with the decaying surroundings have gone. After several years of neglect
the pub has been taken over by Ginger Dave who has been busy getting the place
refurbished. The pub now looks far better than before and is in good shape for
the future. The Clive is now, we believe, the only pub in Penarth to offer free
wireless internet access to its customers. Bring your laptop or PDA and check it
out!
That's enough from me and we now look forward to our first game of the season against the Top House on September the 27th. Good luck to the boys, COME ON THE RAMS!
