4 rounds on the longest day. Only two players won all four and Roy edged out Rita W on points difference. 5 players on 3 wins but Phil edged out Kevin on points for 3rd place. Sue, Sandra B and Paul  were the unlucky 3 game winners who didn’t win a prize.

But the mystery is that 2 players have lost their fleece jackets. Black jackets with club logo on and they’ve gone missing.  We don’t recall any members of the public calling in during the day so it’s probably just a simple mistake. If anyone has accidentally taken one home pleases bring it back and we’ll reunite it with its owner.

There’s two events you might like to attend on Friday at Mirfield. At 1800 there’s a Pie & Peas Triples. £1 Entry fee plus pay £2 for your Pie & Peas. 3 rounds with Cash Prizes. Robin, Rita and Paul are entered but there’s room for others. Contact Harry (or Paul) urgently if you want to play.

Following this there’s the presentation of the West Yorkshire league Trophy at about 2030 followed by a brief review and a drink or two in the clubhouse. No need to register – Just turn up.

The entries

the Score sheet

the winners by only 1 point (both on 3 wins)

Amanda is giving not receiving! Sue & Roy are the winners.

 

An interesting group of players arrived. Some clearly semi professional and well prepared teams but some who had turned up without a partner and hoped for the best. Paul & Phil were without as were several loose women but teams were hastily cobbled together and we ended up with 8 pairs and 1 triple. This meant one team each round had a bye (which they won 13-7) and proved to be very popular because of the weather. They could sit inside.

What weather? We started in the dry but rain soon set in and waterproofs were in great demand.

2 hours later as we were finishing the 3rd round the sun came out and shorts andT shirts were the order of the day.

Only one team had won all their games. Sandie & Paul won first prize. Second and their first podium ever was T’s @ 6, a team made up of Fred and Elisabeth. 3rd place were Kinder Eggs and there was an exciting 4 ball playoff between Roy/Rita and Roger/Jane which led to Roy/Rita walking off with 30 bob. Nice event. There’s more entry fee & cash prizes coming up. Next one is Longest Day melee. 4 rounds on Tuesday 21st June starting at 1300.

 

 

 

Lovely day in early June and 22 turned up. These are the results on the day. 5 players had 3 wins and 5 players failed to win a game.

Looking at the big picture this is where we are. Because of the “new” scoring system anyone can win all the next 3 events and top the table but Marie remains the favourite without playing. Brendan stays second without playing.
