2024/25 Super League – Final Round

11 April, 2025 / / No comments

They think its all over – it is now! Another exciting, competitive but friendly Super League Season comes to an end.

Mustangs & Meerkats who hadn’t lost a match in the first half of the season and consequently topped the table at Christmas were still at the top after the final game. Mustangs had held a very slender lead at Christmas but were pipped at the post by Meerkats, so it huge congratulations to Claude and his team.

Mercenaries who were third at Christmas only picked up another 5 points and slipped to sixth whilst Marvels who were fourth gained another 8 points but still slipped to seventh place.

Mavericks took 11 points to rise from fifth to fourth and Mammoths with an extra 10 points rose from seventh to fifth while Misfits who doubled their points form 6 to 12 still slipped to the bottom.

The form team of the second half of the season were Marlins, lead by Kapitain Katrina, who couldn’t buy a win before Christmas and were languishing at the bottom, gaining 14 points after the restart to race up the table to third place.

Next Autumn we start all over again.

Wilton Bridge v MPC – 3 April 2025

6 April, 2025 / / No comments

Our friendly match with Wilton Bridge took place under sunny spring skies in Ross-on-Wye. Both teams were fielding 14 players apiece, with three rounds of play ahead.

The first round comprised four triples and one double. The results of the five games were pretty close, with MPC edging Wilton Bridge 3 wins to 2 (60-48). It was good to see some of our less-experienced players, such as Keith Miller and Linda Lippett, playing well.

In round 2 there were seven straight doubles to play and the best result came from the two Lindas, Lippett and Thomas, who won their game 13- 2. There were also wins for Bernard & Mike, John Maroney & Keith Thomas and Keith Miller & Peter Lippett. Overall we won the round by 4 games to 3, but the points difference of 72-68 shows how close the games had been.

So, with a lead of 7 games to 5, it was all to play for in the final round of two triples and four doubles. Wilton Bridge still had a chance to come good. But it wasn’t to be. We took four of the six games, giving us a final result in the match of 11 games to 7 (202-164). Congratulations to all our players and especially to three players who completed a hat trick of winning games: Bernard, Linda Lippett and Keith Miller.  Well done to them and to all our players for giving up a day to play for our club.

Wilton Bridge are a developing club and they want to improve. Their performance in this first match shows that they are on the right track and we look forward to hosting them in the next leg.

The shocks continued in this week’s Super League matches. On Wednesday, Marlins who could not buy a win before Christmas, took their second win in three games over the only teams who had not lost a game before the break when they overcame Meerkats (3-1) lifting them up to 4th in the table.

The week commenced with Mercenaries going down (0-4) to Mustangs although Meerkats remained top of table.

On Tuesday, Mammoths pipped Misfits (3-1) lifting them one place to 3rd in the table. Finally, on Thursday, Mavericks took on Marvels in the rain after all the other matches had been played on fine, if slightly chilly, evenings. The conditions proved too much for Marvels who lost (0-4).

2024/25 Super League Week 9

3 March, 2025 / / No comments

Into the second week of the Super League after the winter break. where Mustangs and Meerkats, the only 2 unbeaten teams in the first half of the season fought out a draw (2-2) which, as Mustangs had lost last week, left Meerkats as the only unbeaten team.

Misfits gave Mercenaries a sound thrashing (4-0) to lift them off the bottom of the table but more significantly dented Mercenaries chances of catching the leading 2 teams, Meerkats and Mustangs

In the remaining two matches, Marlins continued there improved start to part 2 of the season by holding Marvels to a draw (2-2) whilst Mammoths overcame Mavericks (3-1) which meant Mavericks slipped to the bottom of the table.

The results are already showing that the teams that were at or near the bottom over Christmas are not giving up the fight and with only 3 points covering third place to seventh place, one win, or loss, can have a big effect on a team’s league position.
