The Sportsman (aka Eight Bells) are Lewes champions...... ;D ;D ;D
...... despite losing their last match! :'( :'(
Eight Bells 2 CKRBL 3
Bill Kerr 2,460 - 6,180 Peter Edwards
Dave Ingram 3,140 - 1,440 Derek Taylor
Colleen Park 2,320 - 3,150 Ted Stringer
Henry Brooks 2,070 - 1,860 Jenny Edwards
Gina Sherratt 1,050 - 2,380 Dilly Williamson
Pete was the only player who really got to grips with the table, which seemed to get harder as the night went on...... despite lifting the front legs by a full turn, the table was still chronically uphill and very slow. :o
With the balls either stopping on the edge if you hit them at "normal" speed or, if you hit them harder, whipping out of pockets (and taking pegs out with them coming back down the hill so quickly), it made getting the break back a real lottery. :-X
Despite this, the good company made it an enjoyable evening with a nice curry to finish off...... which tasted even better when the result from Droops v Bridge came through! 8-) ;D ;D
A very big thank you to all my team.... both the regulars and the occasional reserves..... who have made a huge contribution this season and made captaining the team a real pleasure..... 8-) ;D .....despite the mid season change of venue. ::) :-X
BigTJ and H with 8 wins each, Bill Kerr who joined us Mid-Season and won 7 out of 8, Gina & Colleen :-* who both won 6 games, Charlie & Ros both won 3 and Alan & Colin with valuable wins coming in as last minute reserves. ;)
We look forward to next season, from a new venue..... ;)

Congratulations Warrior and Sportsman/8 Bells team on winning the league ;) Also Congratulations Sir Jock who took Player Of Year award ;) I dont have scores and am sure Someone will post them, But heres what i do remember Brewers Droops 3 Bridge 2 Papa Hall Beat Kev :D Sir Jock Beat Lee :D Mr Reaper Lost to Nigel :'( XPTG Beat Alan :D Sandra Lost to Jean :'( A very enjoyable evening ;) And the scores were. Papa Hall 4530 Kevin Stoner 2360 Jock Jeffrey 8080 Lee Chipman 3440 Kevin Hall 2900 Nigel Senior 13,170Adam Bateup 5010 Alan Brackenridge 4780 Sandra Race 3140 Jean Brackenridge 5860A cracking night with some superb performances as the Brewers try to overturn the 2 point advantage the Sportsman had, and protect the 2 point advantage we had over the Bridge. Papa Hall up first with a good win over Kev who had the match sewn up but pegged the match wining break at the mid way point, and giving Pete the break back which he promptly made the most of. 1-0 ;D Sir Jock up in the second and with Sandra trying not laugh at the grimace on my face as I bent to play my opening break shot, Pain is a good weapon when used to concentrate the mind, and uncomfotable as I was I was still dissappointed to only notch up 4.5k, Lee made a valiant comeback with 3k but the tie and poy were mines when I got the break back again and finishd with a further 3k. 2-0 ;D ;D Kevin up against it in the third, with Nigel having the break, Kevs highest break was under pressure as Nigel eased past the 7k mark only to fall short a couple o shots later, Kev got the break back but needed to play the time out to have any hope of nicking the match, but it wasn't to be, Looking comfy Kev under hit a 1 up at 2.5k which let Nigel in for a further 6k. 2-1 ;D ;D - ;D Adam with the break in the penultimate match, I didn't see much of this match, but Adam was off early as was Alan, the scores appeared to be close all through the match, with Adam pegging just under 3k seconds before the bar dropped, Alan came to the table slightly behind but potted nothing and Adam cleaned up the last balls for the win and asured our runners up spot. 3-1 ;D ;D ;D - ;D Sandra played well against Jean who appeared to struggle a little with a nice playing Brewers top, but soon got into gear, didn't see any of this game so can't really comment, sorry Sandra and Jean. 3-2 ;D ;D ;D - ;D A superb night to finish the league with, :D and huge thanks go out to all my guys an gals you put in a sterling effort all season and I thank you all one and all for your support and encouragement not to mention the banter and the abuse!!lol. :P :P Again thanks to Mike and Wendy and the staff, Tim, Val, Becky, Russell for looking after us so well again this season. :-* ;D ;D Congtratulations to the New League Champions The Sportsman at 8 Bells. We nearly got you tho lol. ;) ;) ;D |

Not my League of course, but a big well done to all Winners and Runners-up and "also-rans" in the Lewes League.
It has been interesting reading all the coverage, and fascinating that it went down the wire with the first three places being decided in the final game of the season.
Congrats also to Sir Jock on his Player of the Year award - with many others after it no doubt, a very impressive achievement. 8-)
