An interesting day. For the first 4 rounds most things went well but because of some slow play in the first round there was a knock on effect and as sunset approached and rain started to fall there were some teams finished and sheltering in the clubhouse but some teams still playing the 4th round. Fortunately this didn’t affect the top 4 positions and teams who still had a game to play but didn’t want to play in the rain and the darkness decided to go home and get warm and dry.

Best HPC result was Robin & Rita who won all their 4 games and won 4th prize. Roy, Brendan and Nell won 2 games. Raffle raised over £50 and finally thank you to all the many helpers who made it a good day.

7 HPC members played in this event at Hollicarrs near Selby. It was 5 rounds starting about 0945 and finishing as the light gradually disappeared and the rain began. Best result for our club was Roy who was playing with a non HPC member. They won 4 games with +22 and came 3rd out of 18 teams. Paul & Christine also had 4 wins and +9 and finished 5th, Mike,.Moira, Brendan & Nell also won some games. The cumulative winter league table makes interesting reading. There are 79 players listed, Here’s the top 15.

Commentary:-

The uncertain weather and a clash of fixtures reduced the playing numbers for today’s Club Monthly Melee.  Nevertheless despite the light showers the playing commenced on time and the early leaders Yvonne and Robin both posted 1st round results of 1 +12. Round 2 was more evenly contested with Reg, Jane P, Nigel, Sue W and Amanda chasing Yvonne. 

The final positions were 1st Sue Weston, 2nd Yvonne & 3rd Reg.  Cumulative scores below
