Dave Howlett (Roffey SSC A) and Keith Newman (The Plough) beat Dave Vizor and Brian Marten (The Plough) 2-1 tonight.
Three close games, Twiggy on the table at the right time at the end in the decider.

 .... and tonight it went Colin Barrow and Nobby Wheeler (The Compasses) 0,  Ricky and Dick Dewdney (The Cricketers) 2.

In the first leg, the Compasses pair led briefly (Nobby two visits) until Ricky slotted into gear with a 5k break,  taking it by 6.5k - 2.7k.
Ricky's 7k opener in game 2 put the match beyond reach, and there was just time for Colin to register a fine 3k break before Ricky next time around pushed the score beyond 10k.


Table is now playing something like it should, having been sabotaged by a no doubt well-meaning individual from another league: the guy in question claimed to have 'made it play much better' having adjusted the back legs. Being sceptical, I called in last Wednesday and found to my horror that the ball 'banana'd to the left hand corner. I found the back leg was loose and on the limit of its adjustment. It has since taken me a total of two hours to put the table back to how it was (apart from being slightly up-hill). The individual concerned has been warned against touching it again on pains of receiving a house ban.

Hi Everybody

Both Semi Finals have now been played, and the final will be an epic match between the Dudes and Twiggy partnered by Noggs

Twiggy will not arrive at Finals Night until about 9.00pm, and so this season the Singles Final will be the first match to be played, with the Doubles Final following the two Team Cup Finals

See you all at Alfold SC on Wednesday 8th May

Best Wishes
