Reaper is Pairs World Champion
All hail to Kev Hall, with Kevin Tunstall the new World Pairs Champions. They beat Keith Sheard and Jim Millward in the Quarter-final, Dennis Atkins and Geoff Jukes in the Semi-final, and Gary Powell and Phil Collins in a tense Final, to become the first winners from the Mainland.
And in the World Championship Singles, undoubtedly the Mid Sussex performance of the weekend was that of CKRBL's Jenny Edwards in making it to the last 32 (Fourth Round) - for which she received the "Most Meritorious Performance of the Competition Award", in a close decision: the other contender being 16-year-old Christopher Oakley from Worthing who reached the same stage.
So well done to Jenny, who received a commemorative goblet to mark her achievement.

But missing a basic shot like the one-up five times does not really deserve that coveted last 16 place. A couple of things that stood out for me was the good run of form of Dave and Colleen in the Pairs on the Friday night. And of course the number of times Bobhall sat down to do scoring duties. Not winning the special raffle after such an accumulation of tickets from the scoring was in itself a travesty ! |

Thanks guys, it was great to have a bit of a run in the pairs..... until we ran into a couple of players with 4 world titles between them! :o ;)
Many congratulations to the Reaper on winning the World Pairs title with SirKT, also to Jenny for her great run (after beating Colleen in the first round :-/) and Tommo who also reached the last 32. ;)
We thoroughly enjoyed our first "Jersey" (and have the t-shirts to prove it! 8-)) and will definitely be back there next year........ it was great to see so many Mid-Sussex players there and have the chance to meet up with Bernie again and so many other players from around the country.
A great weekend..... ;D

Congrats to all.
I think it will take a long while to wipe the smile from Jenny's face the girl did good ;D ;D
Bobhall out performed Sparky's record in number of games scored & stepped up even for some heavy semi finals where most people took 2 steps backwards he did the job excellently being very clear & not slow in telling people to put the ball on the
SPOT !!!!!!
well done I will buy you a drink on Sunday out of my £25 winnings whoops sorry ;D ;D ;D

I look forward to seeing you at the Opens next year H and feel sure that you will do well....... I thoroughly enjoyed my first year of them, it's been great to meet so many new people and I would recommend to anybody that enjoys the game to enter a few Opens. 8-) Congratulations to the Reaper on his rise up the Rankings, also to Tommo who modestly forgot to mention his own position (49th after moving up 18 places from the year before! ;D) and the other Mid-Sussex positions are as follows..... 102 - Lorraine Hall 146= Sir Jock & Peter Edwards 165 - Jenny Edwards 178 - Lady Ros 182 - Q (despite only playing 1 Open!) 217 - Papa Hall 247 - DA-DM :-* 292 - Sparky 301= XPTG & John Lear |

182 - Q (despite only playing 1 Open!) Thats purely as a result of a lucky season (about 3 seasons ago) certainly no reflection on my current form |
