The Final will be played on Monday 2nd June
and is due to start at 8.15pm at the Clayton & Keymer RBL (Hassocks)
and will continue at The Hurst Club at about 9.20-9.30pm.

It would be really good if loads of us turned up to support both players and make it a great occasion.

Go on talk all your mates into going............

It seems there will not be a problem getting into the CKRBL on the night so just turn up and enjoy.

Congratulations to our first "singles" champion of the season! ;D

In a hard-fought and close match.....

Paul Jobbins 3 Ted Stringer 2

Game 1 (CKRBL) - Ted 5630* - 540 Paul
Ted off to a solid start and quickly built up a useful lead with Paul having no luck. 1-0 to Ted.

Game 2 (CKRBL) - Paul 6040* - 1950 Ted
Paul started with a good 4k break while Ted struggled before eventually getting the balls back - but much too late. 1-1

Game 3 (Hurst Club) - Paul 4970* - 2160 Ted
Paul adapted quicker to the different table with Ted again getting the break back too late. 2-1 to Paul

Game 4 (Hurst Club) - Ted 4100* - 3870 Paul
Solid start from Ted which enabled him to build up a 2k lead, although he struggled to get the break. Paul got the break back and had nearly caught Ted up when he put the break down 4 times! :o Ted managed less than 1k, Paul straight back on the break but ended up just short of Ted's total.....! 2-2

Game 5 (Hurst Club) - Paul 6160 - 780 Ted
Even break in the last game, Paul winning the toss and going first with just under 2k. Ted off early in his reply, allowing Paul to hit another nice 4k break to seal the match! ;D

Well played Paul, bad luck Ted, a good evening and enjoyable match to watch. ;)
