Last week saw some more interesting results and a mix of results across the sections. In the Premier/A section AbingdonUtd/ConClub were surprisingly beaten 5-1 by a determined College Oak A in what was a tight encounter the first leg being drawn with both sides registering 27 dolls, the second leg edgesd it by 1 doll and then the next leg Oak scored 28 to secure the 5-1 result.. College Captain Phil Soden top scored with 12 dolls and he was ably supported by Kev Chapman who notched 11 dolls. For Ab Utd/Con Club Phil Adams led the way with 13 dolls, Dave Dix added another 12 to his tally and Scott Humphries added 11 of his own.
Elsewhere in the Premier Croft Nomads registered their highest leg score with 32 dolls in the opening leg against Steventon Sports which included a 6 from Ian Brook. Steventon Sports set 23 in the second leg anchor man Barry Townsend needing 5 dolls to win the leg duly clanged them off to enable the Nomads to “steal” the leg 24 -23. The third leg saw Steventon Sports set 28 and that was more than enough for the leg and earn them 2 points. For Steventon Sports Grahame Brind top scored with 10 dolls, for the Nomads and Barrie Townsend led the way with 12 dolls.
Red Lion A were 4-2 winners against Berinsfield and The Vine went down by the same score at home against The Plu Pudding despite Danny Hamilton top scoring on the night with 10 dolls for the Vine.
2 more players reached their hundred dolls for the season last week joining Phil Adams and Dave Dix who had already hit their first hundred dolls a couple of weeks earlier and are now joined by Leigh Clapton and Ian Brook. In the next couple of weeks the “100 club” will be joined by many more as 11 players are going to reach that significant milestone within the next couple of weeks and not all of those are playing in the Premier/A sections!
The B section saw a first 6 of the season for Abingdon United from Eddie Jeffries and a 5 from Mick James put the first leg way beyond their visitors from the Croft and set up the United side for a welcome 4-2 win. Also in the B section 10’s from both Dave and Billy Collet were not enough to stop The Bell securing a 5-1 result for whom Steve Weeks also hit 10 dolls.
The Fox Denchworth also had a welcome second successive win with Steve Lambert’s 11 dolls helping them to a 4-2 win over The Grapes B for whom Lee Brown also hit 11 dolls.
In the C section Cumnor’s Bear & Ragged Staff with Mark McCracken hit his best of the season with 11 dolls to lead the way to a 6-0 result at the Waggon & Horses.
Finally a mention to the Midget who defeated the Chequers 6-0 in the D section on what must have been a difficult night for the home sides players as tragically, their former Captain and long time regular player Kev Kogel died as a result of an accident a few days previously whilst he was on a golfing trip in Cyprus.
On behalf of all of the Aunt Sally community our condolences are extended to all of Kevin’s family especially his to his wife and children, his Mum and Dad, Andrea and Paul, his brothers Lee and Justin and all of his extended family and his many, many friends. RIP Kevin
