The first club competition of the autumn series saw an entry of 24 members, all clearly glad to have a fine day after so much rain recently. It made for a perfect number of 8 teams with each team having just one first division player. The pistes were wet in parts but quite playable.<\/p>\n

The first round saw wins for the following teams:<\/p>\n

Roger Green, Gill Clark and Barbara Kensett;\u00a0Mike Jones, Lynda Hodges and Ben Bennett;\u00a0Sean Smith, John Maroney and John Xiberras; and\u00a0Barney, Tony Newton and Gill Greenwell.<\/p>\n

In round 2 Roger Green\u2019s team faced Team Sean and won by two points, while Mike Jones\u2019s triple won their game comfortably. So, with Team Barney going down to a narrow defeat, only Roger and Mike had won their two games. But as they entered round 3, Team Mike had a superior points difference over Team Green. Which team would keep their nerve?<\/p>\n

Team Mike\u2019s opponents were Peter K, Sandy and John Chich who ended the President\u2019s dream of winning the coveted trophy with a thumping 13-3 defeat. \"\"Meanwhile, Roger, Gill and Barbara cruised to a 13-1 victory in their game, emerging triumphant as the only team in the competition with three wins. Team Barney took second place on points, with Team Mike third.<\/p>\n

So many congratulations to Roger, Gill and Barbara and thanks to everyone who took part in a really enjoyable competition. It was also a pleasure to see the return of Wiggy from foreign climes and it was typical of his generosity as a player not to trouble the scorer unduly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
