Good turnout today for the Club Doubles competition. 40 members, including for the first time 4 members of our Junior Section (Maddie Bartlett, Kitty Johnson, Lina & Teilo Muenier) \u00a0competed under leaden skies but least the rain held off.<\/p>\n

The format was the usually 3 round melee where partners were drawn from to seeded pots to try to balance the teams in experience. Games were untimed.<\/p>\n

After Round 1 the leaders were Sean Smith\/Paul Hawkins (+9) followed by Vickie Adshead\/ Linda Thomas (+7) and John Maroney\/Lloyd Kinsey (+6). Maddie Bartlett with her partner (& uncle) Gareth Bartlett was the only Junior winner (+2).<\/p>\n

When the scores came in it looked as though Sean\/ Paul had an unassailable lead on 2 wins (+20). Their nearest challengers were Robin Ralph\/ Leon Sofianos (+11) with Peter Kensett\/Tony Cooper, Mike Jones\/Andrew Siso and John Maroney\/Lloyd Kinsey all on (+9).<\/p>\n

So it was on to the final round. Mike\/Andres (+10) & Peter\/Tony (+18) had both won but their points difference was not enough to overtake Sean\/Paul \u2013 all they needed was a win, however small, to take the overall trophy. There was also a pair of new kids on the block, Maddie\/Gareth who had recorded their\u00a0 3rd<\/sup> win 13-1 for (+17) \u2013 to avoid their blushes I won\u2019t name the team they beat (but if you study the results carefully its there for all to see!<\/em>)<\/p>\n

News came in from the final game on the pistes between Sean\/Paul and Roger Griffin\/John Edwards that the score was tight but eventually Roger\/John triumphed and ended Sean\/Paul\u2019s hope of winning the competition.<\/p>\n

The presentations followed and Maddie took the Best Junior award while Peter\/Tony took the overall winner trophy.<\/p>\n
