2024 Summer Season – Section by Section Players Rank by Average

After Steve Fernback suggest at one of the competition evenings (and I got nudged at Presentation Night by another player) we should have rankings per section as well as the overall League Rankings we have online so I’ve summarised them below just for your entertainment or bragging rights! (FYI Excel makes this easier as you can point it at the web page and extract the data so if anyone is curious and has the time to do more analysis please do and report back).

The rankings online are split between regular players and those that have played half the games of that point in the season. These tables include everyone who has played so make a note of the number of games played if it becomes significant as we all know we can have a good game or a poor one! One year we did have a player with an average of 4 after playing only 1 game all season. 

This covers 746 players! A special mention to those that took part to fill in the blanks with a blank (Carey Lewis,Ajnna Antell,Pamela Edwards,Harry Belcher,Chris Roberts,Richard Bunce,Richard Blake,Ciaron Hamlet & Lisa Pulleyn) – they came, even just for 1 game or 2, they saw but didn’t conquer the doll. Seriously though, thank you for being part of the biggest league in the county. 

Either click on the section links below or use your browser search function (Ctrl+F on a keyboard or ‘Find in Page’ menu on a mobile/tablet) to find your name.

2024 Finals and Founders

Wednesday and Thursday last week saw the Finals of the 8’s, 3’s, 4’s, Captains and Secretaries at Abingdon United FC and on Thursday the Founders and Legends competition for the over 50s which again this year was held at Abingdon Conservative Club. Many thanks to both venues for staging these events.

On Wednesday at Abingdon United a collection was made amongst the Aunt Sally community who were there on the night following the tragic loss of a young Abingdon United footballer Jack Badger and thank you to all who contributed generously to raise £150 on the night which will go to a just fund raising money to support the family and in memory of Jack 

Both nights were dry fortunately, if dark and cold and many thanks to all who took part on the two evenings which  apart from the singles and pairs semi finals which will be held on October 4th effectively wrapped up our Summer 2034 season.

Founders & Legends Trophy – Thursday19th September at Abingdon Conservative Club

The Annual Founders & Legends Trophy Competition is being held this Thursday at Abingdon Conservative Club.

This is our generally best supported competition and is open to all with entry on the night.

The Competition is open to all registered players aged 50+ and entries must be made at the Conservative Club between 7 and 7.30pm on the night. 

The draw will take place at 7.30 with the first game at 7.45pm. All games will be the best of 3 legs  and should it be needed in the event of a tie after the 3rd leg a 3 stick “shoot out” will take place.

All entrants will be expected, following their game(s) be expected to call or “stick up” for the following game.

Let’s finish the summer season in style on Thursday with a well attended, competitive competition on what promises to be a warm evening unlike the past couple of weeks!

Remember this Competition is in memory and celebration of both the people who first brought our Aunt Sally League in the 1960’s and to all of those local legends many of whom will be remembered not just for their ability, but for their contribution to the longevity of our game which is still going strong 60+ years on and hopefully for many more years to come.

Indeed some of those legends are still playing today and setting a standard which many of us would be proud to match!

Week 18 Summary and the delayed week 10 fixture Finale to the 2024 Summer League season

The Final Countdown

(with one more to go)

Well, the end is nigh! That is, to this year’s Summer league programme and there is still much to play for particularly in the lower sections where in the D,E and F sections both the Section champions and the runners up positions are still to be decided – this week’s fixtures will determine just who finishes where in these sections. The D section Harwellian A lead The Midget by just one point and travel to The Red Lion on Wednesday whilst The Midget will entertain Berinsfield SC B so whilst both teams are certain of a top 2 place in which order will only be sorted after their last games!!  The E section is similarly poised with The Wheatsheaf Didcot needing at least 3 points from their visit to RAL SC to pip their nearest rivals North Star A to the title and North Star have a short trip along the Hanney Road to play Hanney RBL in their final match knowing only a win will give them any chance of overhauling the Wheatsheaf. The F section is a straight fight between two newcomers with the WADS Bar at home to The Plough and the Fleur de Leys travelling to face Marcham Centre B. Both new teams to the league have done really well and can look forward to possibly stepping up at least one section in 2025 (subject to the usual averages calculations!).

The other league titles are sorted and although, in the Premier Abingdon United@Con Club can still draw level on points with league leaders Bystander A with a 6-0 victory when the y meet on Wednesday but the newly introduced rule at this years AGM of final positions being determined by total dolls it seems impossible that even a 6-0 result for the Premier league champions for several seasons will enable them to retain their crown for 2024! The A section is already sorted before this week’s game with Red Lion A finishing as Champions and the Plum Pudding runners up. Both sides have done well and with their respective handicaps and performances have managed to influence the outcome of the final league tables having taken points off all of the Premier sides during the season.

Abingdon Con Club have secured the C section as champions but the runners up spot is still to be decided and if The Bell B secure 4 points from their final game at the Waggon & Horses on Wednesday they will ensure they cannot be caught as their nearest rivals are the Boundary House can only watch and wait as their week 10 fixture is a bye and even a 4-2 victory for the Bell should be good enough with only 4 dolls separating the 2 teams! Finally the B section is sorted with Stanford in the Vale FC once again winning the league with the other Bell side finishing runners up.

Week 18 Round-up (but not the last game)

So what about last week’s fixtures and results? Well the most notable result in the Premier was Plum Pudding’s 4-2 win over Abingdon United@Con Club which effectively brought to an end, at least for one season, Abingdon United’s brilliant and long domination of the Premier section having won it for every season since 2014. United, as they have done throughout the season, set themselves very high standards and as usual both Dave Dix and Phil Adams led the way with 14 and 12 dolls and Phil’s 12 included another maximum 6, but a solid team performance from the Plum saw them notch 24 dolls to win the first leg and United then hit 29 dolls to take the second leg before a very narrow third leg saw the Plum edging it 28-27. An overall good performance from the Plum with solid scoring throughout with Terry Downes and “Bert” Chambers both scoring 9 to top the individual scoring for the home side.

Bystander took full advantage with Jason Bowler netting 13 dolls and Dave Hudson another double figure score when they beat the College Oak 6-0 with consistently good leg scores of 25, 28 and 28 and although the Oak also scored well with legs of 22, 21, and 27 it just wasn’t enough to stop the Bystander gaining maximum points and one hand on the Premier trophy! 

Elsewhere Berinsfield made in 10 points from their last 2 games, in what has been a lean season by their standards when they overcame Steventon Sports 4-2 and Richard Jones with 13 dolls top scored which included a maximum 6. Also in the Premier/A section The Vine had a welcome 4-2 victory over the already A section Champions Red Lion A. Roy Harrison top scored for The Vine alongside Danny Hamilton both with 9 dolls, but needing 1 for double figures the normally Mr Consistent Dan with 9 dolls to his name managed to record his first “blob” of the season in the 3rd leg!

In the B section Abingdon United C lost for the first time in 10 weeks going down 5-1 at The Fox despite a 10 doll haul from Matt Ashmall.  Stanford in the Vale FC’s 6-0 victory over the Croft Bar clinched the B section championship for them. William Glen with 12 dolls and Darren Bungay in support with 9 led the way for the football club who are the “boomerang” team of Abingdon Aunt Sally as they seem to spend their seasons with alternate spots in both the A and B sections! For the Croft a really good season is tailing off with them gaining only 1 point from their last 3 games!

The C section saw Boundary House winning 5-1 making a late bid for the runners up spot in their defeat of The Bear & Ragged Staff. The Waggon & Horses beat the Eight bells 4-2 and there were 3-3 draws between The Bell Grove B and the Royal Oak and between the Grapes A and the Prince of Wales.

In the D section a fine 10 dolls from Darren Mace was not good enough to stop Berinsfield B sealing a 5-1 result. Harwellian A won 6-0 at the Brewery Tap and Queens Arms won 4-2 at home to the College Oak B. Steve Dingle was the sections highest individual scorer clanging off 11 dolls for The Plough when they drew 3 apiece and it was a similar result between The Lamb A and The Chequers. 

Bystander B (now playing at their original home at the Fox, Boars Hill) were 5-1 winners against the North Star A in the E section and Marcham Centre A overcame Hanney RBL, Wheatsheaf inflicted another defeat on the Horse & Jockey A side despite Dave Stallard registering the highest individual score of the season for the Jockey with 8 dolls and Kate Dewar also set her personal highest of the season for Steventon Sports B 5-1 who were winners at the RAL Social.

There were 6-0 wins for both the Fleur de Leys B and the Bystander C sides over North Star B and Marcham Centre B. The Plough Appleton and Sutton Courtenay FC shared the points and the Horse & Jockey B were 5-1 victors over Grove Rugby Club in the E section.

Competitions

So it’s the last week of the league, but tomorrow night the much delayed team 3’s and team 4’s competitions will take place at the Croft Bar, next week it’s the turn of Abingdon United to stage the Finals Night when the finals of the 3’s and 4’s will take place together with the team 8’s final and the finals of both the Captain’s and Secretaries Competitions the earlier rounds have already taken place on Competition Sunday and the 8’s in previous weeks. 

The final competition to be held will be the Founders & Legends trophy which is open to all registered players aged 50 plus! This requires no pre-entry just turn up on the night which will be held next week on Thursday 19th (yes the day after Finals night I know, but there aren’t many days of late Summer left!) at Abingdon Conservative Club with a 7.30pm start.

For your diaries the last event of the season is our Annual Presentation Night which includes the semi finals and finals of both the Pairs and Singles Competitions, the semi and finalists all earned the right by qualifying at the Competition Sunday back in early August. This event will, this year, due to the unavailability of Abingdon United, be held at the Croft Bar Abingdon on Friday October 4th. More details to follow.

Week 17 review and a quick look forward to the last couple of weeks of the Summer Season

Well, last Wednesday’s results in the Premier and A sections proved quite conclusive with the 3 horse race narrowing to just 2 teams now fighting for the Champions and Runners up spots. Bystander A by virtue of their 5-1 against the already champions of the A section Red Lion A have gone 2 points clear at the top of the Premier, ahead of AbingdonUtd/Con Club who beat Croft Nomads 4-2 in a very close encounter which featured 2 tied legs before Utd/Con Club won the decisive 3rd leg.

In the Bystander’s winDave Hudson topped the individual scoring in their win. Bystander  were playing this “home” fixture at Steventon Sports as they “left” the Bystander a few weeks ago and have been playing their games “away”. Maybe next year they will have to change their name to the “cuckoos” as they look to find a new permanent home for 2025.

In the Ab Utd/Croft tight encounter Croft set 27 in the opening leg and Paul Barrett went to the oche as Utd’s anchor needing 5 dolls for the leg, he fell just short, but his last doll gave Utd the 4 they needed to tie the leg. Utd then set and a score of 23 leaving  Croft’s anchorman Barry Townsend needing 4 to win the second leg for the visitors, but like Paul before him he fell just short, but his 3 dolls ensured the second leg was also tied! The deciding leg saw Croft with a couple of players not registering set a total of only 18 which for Utd/Con Club wasn’t too demanding and they hit 21 dolls to ensure a 4-2 win. For Ab Utd/Con Club Dave Dix included a 6 in his 12 doll haul, Bob Duff also hit 12 dolls and Phil Adams with 11 dolls and Scott Humphries with 10 were also major contributors to their aggregate score of 71whilst for the Croft only Barry Townsend was able to reach double figures with his 12 dolls.

The Premier league title will probably not be sorted until next week’s delayed week 10 fixtures when the Bystander will entertain Abingdon Utd/Con Club in their final game of the league season. Not being too hasty though because before then both the top 2 have to travel to the College Oak and the Plum Pudding respectively and those 2 sides can also have a say in where the title goes next week!

Berinsfield A and Steventon Sports A both enjoyed 6-0 victories over opponents Plum Pudding and The Vine. For Berinsfield it was their first win since June! Alex Chamberlain top scoring with 11 dolls for Berinsfield and their leg scores was  their best of the season totalling 70. For Steventon Ricky Fletcher top scored with 12 dolls a total matched by Simon Winterbourne for the Plum Pudding on the night.

In the B section Stanford in the Vale FC regained top spot with a 6-0 win against nearest rivals The Bell A in a low scoring game where Colin Morton and Darren Bungay shared top spot with 7 dolls each for the football club and the 3 legs were won with scores of 11, 14 and 11!  7 was also the highest individual score on the night for another winning total with John Corcoran hitting 7 for the Fleur de Leys A

 

Also in the B section Abingdon United extended their long unbeaten run with a 5-1 win over Abingdon RBL and Jono Worrall top scored for the United with his first double figure haul of the season. Fleur de Leys also had a win in a low scoring game, winning 4-2 at the Fox and Harwellian B had a sixer in Gary Dalzvieira who hit 9 dolls and was denied a double figure haul only when he failed to register a score with his last 6 sticks! Andy Shipman did hit 10 dolls, his first double figures of the season after a string of individual 9’s  in recent weeks for the winning side as they beat The Croft 5-1.

In the  C section there were wins for The Bell B, The Grapes A, the Royal Oak and the Waggon & Horses who overcame league leaders Abingdon Con Club.

In the D section it was wins for Harwellian A with Ian Cooksley leading the way with 10 dolls and his individual score was matched by opponent Alfie Thorpe. The E section Rob Bartholomew’s 10 dolls were not enough to stop Bystander B securing a 4-2 win with skipper Steve Fernback hitting 11 dolls for the Bystander B for whom the win was a welcome “home” as they have reverted to playing their games  at their former home The Fox, Boars Hill which has recently re-opened.

The F section saw wins for WADS bar, at the expense of rivals and fellow newcomers this season Fleur de Leys B who were on the receiving end of that 4-2 result. Also winners in this section were

Well with just 2 weeks to go some of the titles have already been decided. Red Lion A in the A section cannot be caught and neither can Abingdon Con Club in the C section so both will be league section winners at the close of the season whatever their last 1 or 2 results.

Stanford in the Vale FC with their win over The Bell A lead the B section by 4 points, in the C section it’s a fight to the finish for the runners up spot with the Bell B and the Boundary House as contenders. The D section is between The Midget and Harwellian A with the Midget suffering after looking to be clear favourites just a couple of weeks ago. The E section is a close fought contest between the North Star A and the Wheatsheaf with 2 games left to play and the F section is a straight contest between the WADS bar and the Fleur B with WADS seemingly favourites after last week’s win.

Also in this section last week North Star B  and Sutton Courtney FC both won their encounters and the Horse & Jockey B and the Bystander C shared the points.

Just a final point after much chasing and encouraging we now have enough entries for the 3’s and 4’s competitions which will be played at The Croft next TUESDAY 10th SEPTEMBER with a 7.30 start. We are delighted that we can compete for these long established team competitions and thank those late entries who have enabled these to continue when the lack of entries had made that seem very unlikely until a few days ago!

As the Summer league season draws towards it’s close just a few reminders the last league games will be played next week. This is the week 10 fixture held over from early July as a result of England’s qualification for the latter stages of the Euro Championships.  Wednesday September 18th the Finals Night will be held and will feature the Team 8’s final, the team 4′ and team 3’s together with the final of the Captains and Secretaries competitions. These will take place at Abingdon United Fc.

The Annual Presentation night will take place on Friday October 4th and this year will be held at the Croft Bar, Peachcroft, Abingdon. The semi finals and finals of both the Singles and Pairs competitions will take place (outside!!) and will be followed by the presentation of all of the league and competition trophies for all of the winners, runners up, leading doll scorers for each section. A raffle will take place on the night. . It is an important night for us as it enables us to recognise and thank all of the people, the players (over 600) this season , the landlords and stewards of our pubs and clubs, and the secretaries and captains of all of our teams. In short generally we thank everyone who helps in any way enabling us to  maintain the long established tradition of playing Aunt Sally in our pubs and clubs in all of our towns and villages in the area!

Finally we have one Competition still to organise the Founders Trophy this is an open competition to all registered players aged 50+ who can just turn up on the night and play. Details of when and where this will take place (probably on a Thursday and maybe September 19th) in the next couple of days so watch this space!
