The Zeds 4-1 win at the White Horse last night takes them level on points with the Greyhound at the top of the Premier Division. :o ;D

Everything to play for tonight...... but at the top and the bottom of the League...... a great way to end the season. 8-)

Good luck to everybody playing tonight..... ;)

Handcross Z 4 St Francis 1

Mick Holmwood 3550, Matt Geal 1850
Alan Downs 1930, Peter Geal 1520
Johnny Haigh 2340, T.S.O. 1280
Barry Timson 1430, Bob Ellis 1750
Graham Daniels 2830, Chris Little 2190

The table wasn't any great shakes tonight - even SpecialOne missed the break. Well done to Bob Ellis who played a patient game. Good company, good food (this time from Johnny Haigh) and the St Francis squeezed seven back into the car for their return trip adequately fuelled with Red River bitter.

Congratulations to the Greyhound in reclaiming the title by a WHOLE POINT after our shock win by half a point last year. ;D

'B's beat the Droops 3-2
IanG beating Mama Hall

So to win the league they have to pray for whitewashes to the 'Z's and the Greyhound :'(

right before i give scores i would just like to say tonight i was very dissapointed with the table which had obviously been moved or tampered with not saying by the bravos but by someone, when jock came back he had a look at the table and noticed the screws were still out of the back leg on the floor so someone took them out .

this is nothing against my opponent as nikki you played superbly tonight and i give you full credit on your win

so scores as follows
lynne 580 roy 4070
adam 5050 kev 3090
spud 3960 pete 1420

nikki 2730 rob 2460 bobhalls face :( :( :( :( nikki face :) :) :) :) :)

Congratulations to all the Greyhound team well deserved. Once you built that lead it was hard to close the gap.

& the Zd's again show their staying power who somehow managed to leapfrog us again by engineering a game in hand for a thrilling end of season. Well done to Tommo & his motley crew ;D ;D

Congrats also to Watermill A on a fantastic season which will be hard to better also to Laughing Fish in their debut season in Mid Sussex.

Yes, very good, glad you remembered the smileys. ;) ;)
That's two years now the White Horse have done that to us. At least this year was unavoidable and we didn't have to make an extra journey. ::)
Unlucky your team, you maintained a cracking pace and won all the tough matches towards the end. At least the dreaded half-point didn't come into the equation, this time, and as for us, we were spared the heartache of levelling on points with the Greyhound and losing the league purely on matches lost. :o

CK RBL 4- 1 HH USC

Derek Taylor 1840 - 1450 Ron Wales*

Dilly Williamson* 5240 - 0 Mick Kirwan BP

Ted Stringer 1000 - 1740 Chris Packham*

Jenny Edwards* 2310 - 1470 Graham Sparksman

Peter Edwards 2760 - Terry Gasson 1960*

As you can see the table wasn't good and the RBL apologised for that. I didn't get the break back in my game so well done Jenny. It was only Dilly on his break game that did anything.

Edit = Typo corrected

Laughing Fish 3 - 2 Eight Bells

Sorry about the late post, been up to a lot today.

Only notable score was from an on form old man of mine with 6.3kish (opening with a 4k break). I played last and played what I have decided to call a "beer game" but Trevor played slowly and precisley to keep me off the table for a lot of the game. I did win however.

Lady Ros and Gary Foster won for the visitors.

Congratulation to The Hound, for their well fought premiership victory. Comisarations to the Z's. They battled hard on a top they clearly had no confidence in. Well done Bob, who took one against the break, and bad luck to Peter, who lost a break at the death, which could have cost him 8 wins on the trot.
Well done to Peter, MH, and TSO, who rode the Red River all night with courage and determination. Shame on those who ducked the challenge.

In all the excitement, the Final Table appears to have been missed, so here it is, as supplied by the Old Fella with his weekly report:
