By my calculations the BB Reaper has won a trophy in all FOUR leagues that he's played in this season.
My question is, has anyone else ever managed this exceptional feat ?
Awards reaped by the Reaper in 2006/7:
Worthing League - League Championship with the Three Horseshoes.
Redhill League - Team Cup Finalist with South Park Constitutional Club 'B'.
Horsham League - Mixed Doubles Finalist with Lorraine Hall.
Mid Sussex League - Mixed Doubles Finalist with Hayley Tunstall.

Mens Singles ( Mid Dussex) due to be played Tuesday 8th Oi Kev, no !!! Your record is four different leagues, stop trying to claim five ! ;D I'm sure someone like Katie will be able to prove that they've done it already, anyway ! ::) |

The challenge is still there to find a bigger glory hunter than the BB Reaper.
I've had a look at my own best efforts in nearly forty years and I fall short of the mark.
My most prolific (though not my best) season appears to have been 1978/79 when I shared my Tuesday nights between the Railway (B'hurst) in the Horsham League and the Brewery Shades in the Crawley League.
This was my yield that year :
Horsham League: Team Cup Winners (Railway); Pairs Runner-up with Andy Gilbert.
Billingshurst League: Div.2 Champions (Michell 'B')
Crawley League: League Champions; Team Cup Runners-up; Fred Lanaway Cup Winners (all with Brewery Shades); Pairs Runner-up with Andy Finn; Mixed Doubles Runner-up with margo; Bob O'Donnell Memorial Pairs Runner-up with John Slee.
So, only three different leagues, and a fair few runners-up awards. Def. not as good as the Reaper. :'(
I now await SuperMario to come in with something spectacular to put us both to shame. ;D ;D ;D

That's quite a good season, Milhouse, especially if you add to it your appearance in the Final of the Mermaid Open. You have made it into double figures, not many have done that - apart from of course Katie last season.
It's still only for three leagues though, and there are many in Sussex who play 3 leagues but I am intrigued to know of anyone apart from Q or the Reaper who has played in 4.

I wouldn't argue about it, both are great achievements in my eyes. Hopefully Millhouse will be so tired he will lose at least one of them ;)

That's a good point Kevin, Milhouse may well start to feel the pace - but apparently Kevins don't. ;D
The Reaper is going from strength to strength whereas I just about feel fit for the knackers yard. :o :'(

A year down the line, and it's early harvest-time for the Reaper again. And bar billiards' answer to Wayne Rooney has excelled even more this season, with honours from FIVE separate leagues - which has just got to be a record:
Lewes- off the spot league winners, mens singles finalist -lost to alan B. and team ko winners-beat Stand up 3-2
Redhill- Team ko Runner up
Horsham- Mixed Doubles winners with Mum
Mid Sussex- Team plate finalist, 1st div singles finalist, mixed and open doubles finalist.
Worthing- Team Ko Winners - Beat Gardeners B 3-2
Plus made 1/4 final in Jersey. 8-)
All this capped by qualification for the Sussex Masters - don't discount him having a good run in that.

Not forgetting Tommo........
Mid-Sussex League - Kevin is currently top of the Players Listing and, with one game to go, is in a virtually unbeatable position having won 1 more game than his nearest challenger and with a substantially higher average! ;D 8-)
Another great season for the Reaper! ;) ;D

She currently holds 4 Mixed Doubles titles with three different partners -

Mid Sussex with the Reaper (soon to defend their title)
Worthing (2 years running) & All England with Kt.
She has also added the Worthing Ladies doubles title (with Hem Brewster) to her collection.
