2015 League Doubles - Northwood - 7th June 2015
Many thanks to Northwood for hosting this event on a perfect sunny summer day which saw a good entry of seventeen teams take part. Represented were Bottles, Brown Jug A, B and E, Horse and Groom A and B, Herne Bay Herons and Gulls, Northwood and the Magpies. Four leagues played in the morning session with the top two from each progressing to the quarter-finals after a lunch break.
The semi-finals were fairly brief games with Barbara Moyse and Bob Easter (Magpies) getting the better of David Sheppard and Ryan Miles (also Magpies) 13/4. Les Taylor and Alan Martin (Herne Bay Herons) also ran out winners over Tilly Britton and Jason Flynn (Brown Jug E and A) 13/5.
The final was a good match but in the end Barbara and Bob were out-gunned by Les and Alan who won 13/8 taking home £60 prize money with the runners-up pocketing £30 while the losing semi-finalists got £6 to refund their entry fee.
All in all a very good day and let's hope for more of the same at the Triples at Charlotte Court on 12th July and at the Peter Field event at Northwood in August.
