p.s. Will try and get all 7 matches played tonight if we can, certainly first 6 games which ensures every team gets a game. Will play the last game if we have time and the 2 teams involved can be bothered to hang around to find out. Good luck to all. The draw for this competition was made by Brian Clapton & Roger Holmes – wont be asking them again.

Last week it was F.Tracey with 3 blobs, this week it was V.Smith who recorded the same score, or should that be no-score. Bit of advice chaps, don’t enter the pairs together.

p.s. I.will be forming the sections after tonights games so it might be a good time to remind you that YOU voted for a 1 up, 1 down promotion and relegation system to be implemented. Last year Ab. Legion won ‘B’ section and Ab. Con. Club finished runners up. It was when Ab. Utd. ‘B’ won ‘B’ section 2 years on the trot that YOU voted for this system, so you see I have a bit of a dilema on my hands.

p.p.s. I think severall people were asking the question last week ‘When did The Fox sign D.Cross on’?. The categorical answer to that is that his name was on The Fox registration list when handed to me by Barry on the 10th, the night most teams handed their list in. There were 14 names on The Fox registration form. Yes, I had to laugh to myself as well.

Ab. Legion beat Ab. Utd. ‘A’ 6-0 with leg scores of 16-11, 12-11, 14-13. For The Legion C.Brind 11, N.Hazell 9, D.Sapey 8, N.Tait & P.Ealey 7 each. In reply for Utd. ‘A’ P.Wright & I.Morrison 11 each & T.Ward 7. B.Duff throwing like a partially sighted Australian sheep shearer managed just 1 doll.

Ab.Con. Club beat College Oak 6-0 with leg scores of 14-6, 13-9, 17-10. For Con. Club Brian ‘Cracker’ Clapton 12, J.Sims 11, P.Barrett 10 & T.Barrett 7. For The Oak B.Hudson top scored with 9 dolls. F.Tracey obviously could not see the doll as he didn’t hit it once. I’m beginning to wonder if he can see letter box’s as an awful lot of letters go missing every week.

Ab.Utd. ‘B’ beat Penlon 4-2. The leg scores were 12-14, 15-9, 14-11. For Utd. ‘B’ A.Gregory hit 11 dolls. S.Martin also hit 11 but included a 6, K.Souch 8 & D.Harris 7. For Penlon T.Lach & C.Crawford each hit 9 dolls.

Ab. Utd. ‘C’ caused an upset by beating 4 man Fox 4-2 with leg scores of 10-8, 11-9, 7-14. For Utd. ‘C’ I.Brown 9 & J.Warrell 7. In reply D.Butler 11, B.Parker included a 6 in his 10 and R.Nicholls 8. It was pointed out to me last week that The Fox have not won the ‘A’ Section since the 1997-98 season, in which time they have finished runners up 6 times. I’m sure they will be looking to rectify that.

Regards

Tosh

p.s. The league has a very strange look about it at the moment but it is early days yet.

p.p.s. Captains, I need competition entries and monies tonight please.

p.s. Hope all new and returning players enjoy the season.

I need registration forms from Old Masters, The Fox, Ab. Utd. ‘C’ & Spread Eagle tonight please.

I want all competition forms and money next week (10th) please. Remember it’s £1 per person for each

competition entered.

We will form the sections after 4 weeks matches, but it looks like The Heathens may be in the ‘B’ section.

Calm down, calm down. Only joking
