Monkstone today hosted the WPA President’s Cup and their teams who entered made home advantage pay with a a great overall result.

In the main competion, Jill Greenwell, Tony Martin, Mike Jones and Mike Wigg fought their way to the final where they were finally beaten after a valiant effort by a team from SWBRC comprising Len Field, Jean-Yves Robic and Jake Caston.

In the Plate competion, Monkstone went a step further when Bernard Adshead, Vickie Adshead, Jayne Dunn & Roger Griffin also got through to the final but came out victorious against another SWBRC team of Sonia Ford, Simone Ballett & Carl Davies.

Well played to the two finalists and all the other Monkstone players who entered; Sean Smith, Tony Smith, Keith Nott, Frances Ralph, Robin Ralph, Peter David, Ash Seath, Ian Campbell, Roger Green, Len Christian, Peter Kensett, Keith Thomas & Steve Hawkey – nearly 50% of the total entry!
