A cool but dry evening at Steventon Sports Club
A damp early evening cleared for the Captain’s and Secretary’s knock out competition at Steventon Sports Club.
With only 6 Secretaries and 8 Captains 2 prelim games were battled for the Secretaries.
Nicky Biggs battled through 3 legs and finally won his game against Paul Ealey in a 3 stick decider.
Geoff Lee took his game against Bob Duff to 3 legs to get his place in the next round cracking two 4s in the process. In the following round Nicky Biggs couldn’t get his form back as Geoff Lee won the first leg 4-3 and took a 1 stick decider to secure his place in the Final.
Graham Brown made it look easy as he set 5 in the first leg against Keith Buckle who couldn’t get past a 1 in the second leg to save the game.
