This was one of the questions for a fun trivia quiz which called for runners-up of certain events to be named.
As it concerns a past event organised by Wallingford League, I though I ought to repeat it here for posterity.............
Re: The Wolfie Storch Pairs, I have researched the event and come up with the following extract, from BBQ 61, Spring 2006:
Played this year at the Portcullis Club, Wallingford on Sunday 14th May with 40 taking part. It was won by Jenny Abbott (a former winner when she partnered Chris Newson) and a new protege by the name of Callum Bowler who had 'never played bar billiards before' and is apparently only 'about 10 years old'. Top players were limited to 3000 breaks and were drawn haphazardly to partner the lesser mortals of the bar billiards world.
Jenny and Callum beat Phil Collins and Sandra Storch in the final after the latter had ousted a brace of Katies in the semi-final: Katie Storch and the one and only Kevin 'K.T.' Tunstall. £250 was raised for Cancer Research.
