During
a snooker match late
one summer night in June/July 1991, Ali Hunt, Ian Collins, &
Martyn Reid discussed the possibility of forming a skittle team.
Confident that they could persuade enough of their friends to
play, they each proposed numerous names for the new teams identity,
but struggled to find one that they could agree on. Their discussion
was overheard by the captain of the snooker team, Bob McCann,
who strolled over and proposed in his strong Scottish accent
" ‘The
Tattibogoes’ ?”

Liking
what they heard, they registered the name for the 1991/92 season,
and soon started competing in the Hereford & District Skittle
League Division Six. Holding their own, they found themselves
in 4th position by the end of January 1992, and with thirteen
straight victories to finish, they soon celebrated ther first
league title.
This success has continued with The Tatti’s winning each league
at their first attempt, including Division One at the end of
season 1996/97.
To date they have won Hereford's top division seven times, in
1996/97, 1999/2000, 2000/01, 2002/03, 2003/04, 2005/06, and
2006/07. Of the current teams competing in the league, only
one team has won more, Evans SC, who first won the division
one in 1980/81, have a total of nine titles to their name. |
