Thanks to Jean for posting the scores, here is a little report on how we became champions of Brighton

New Oak A 5 Moulsecoomb Club 0

Ian Lelliott 4,280 - 1,810* Dave Lee
Bob Osborne 9,690 - 1,160* Tim Scotney
Marcus Chipman 7,070 - 2,160* Colin Green
Phil Osborne 10,710 - 1,210* Phil Reay
Nigel Senior 16,010 - 1,220* Martin Parsons

In leg 1, Ian took on Dave Lee. It was a struggle, Dave unable to get the break consistently - he is clearly better off sticking to that wonderful Moulescoomb Club table... Not vintage Ian but got us off to a good start 1-0

Leg 2, Bob has been superb on this table this year, and it took him two goes this time but was more than a match for his nemesis Tim. Angry Bob on good form. 2-0

Leg 3 So was it was to put Chippers on for the game to seal the title? They had to go with their strongest player Colin. Colin off early to allow Marcus to build a lead, then another break put the game safe and the title was sealed. Or was it? Chippers always gives the black peg a scare at some point, maybe it was just a tease. But leg won and the title in the bag. 3-0

Leg 4 Phil was his usual brilliant best at the New Oak, he is a handful on there and showed Phil no mercy 4-0

Leg 5 Could the whitewash be completed? I was 800 down after 4 minutes of my clash with Martin, but by minute 5 I was in front. Thought I would enjoy the moment and touched on 15k. 5-0

So there it is....a first title for the New Oak since 2018 when we had a certain Gareth Lloyd in the side. Thanks to my team, Ian for his constant playing down our chances (we have no chance of winning the league he said), thanks to Bob and Phil for playing superb and traveling all the way from Hastings to play for us. Martin Smith for being a super sub a winning a game (one that really mattered against the Wellie). And obviously thanks to Chippers for winning the league clinching leg and letting me throw him under the bus week in week out.

Now can we successfully defend the title next year. Ian what do you think?
