Last Sunday the Club held its first melee of 2019 organised by Roger Green.
In Round 1 there were some closely fought games but when all the scores were in, Phil Roberts and Roger Green had taken an early lead with a win and +12.
In Round 2 the fierce, but friendly, competition continued and this was confirmed when at the end of the round there were only 4 players on 2 wins:
| 1 | Roger Green | +24 |
| 2 | Jayne Dunn | +18 |
| 3 | Barabara Kensett | +11 |
| 4 | Keith Nott | +10 |
It looked very much as if the winner would come from this group of 4 with Roger Green in pole position but he still had to win his last game to be sure of victory. When the scores came in, 2 of the players on 2 wins had converted that into 3 wins – but 2 had fallen at the last hurdle – which raised the prospect of someone else with a good third round win getting into the prizes.
This proved not to be the case and it was Keith Nott who fell out of the top 3 and, following in the best Mike Jones tradition, the organiser had consolidated his lead and was declared the winner.
| 1 | Roger Green | 3 wins | +28 |
| 2 | Barbara Kensett | 3 wins | +18 |
| 3 | Jayne Dunn | 2 wins | +17 |
Thanks again to Roger for his organisation – your correspondent is thinking of doing the next one as it seems the only way he will get near the prizes.
