Last Sunday the Club held its first melee of 2019 organised by Roger Green.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1<\/td>\nRoger Green<\/td>\n+24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nJayne Dunn<\/td>\n+18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nBarabara Kensett<\/td>\n+11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nKeith Nott<\/td>\n+10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
1<\/td>\nRoger Green<\/td>\n3 wins<\/td>\n+28<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nBarbara Kensett<\/td>\n3 wins<\/td>\n+18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nJayne Dunn<\/td>\n2 wins<\/td>\n+17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

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.<\/p>\n
