Warren secures 18th League Win!
Totton moved up to 3rd with a 4-2 win over this seasons champions Churchills while Chandlers were defeated by the same scoreline at home to St Denys, Hamble signed off with a 5-1 victory over Park Gate to move above them and Curdridge suffer at the hands of Sarisbury 2-4 to end the season with the wooden spoon!
Curdridge get 2 through to Finals
Brian Bull and Robin Smith give Curdridge a trophy boost after both knocking out Churchills Mark McLean and Jerry Warren respectively, Churchills still have a great chance though through Steve Hulbert who beat Ian Finch. The Winner of Mark Emm and Rob Shattock will complete the Finals line up on May 1st.
Curdridge Retain the Usher Shield
Curdridge halted Churchill's dream of the double after inflicting a rare defeat on this seasons top performers, Trevor Harris, Clive Gamblin and ever reliable Robin Smith scored early for current holders with Steve Hulbert replying for Churchills to leave the tie poised at 753-788 with Jerry Warren and Nick Alford left to decide the honours. Nick needed to reach 165 points to seal the win but with the challengers star performer Jerry getting off to a flying start and soon catching up on the handicap deficit he soon swung the odds into Churchills favour for the first time, Nick though dug in well despite the lack of billiards match time this season to maintain a slim advantage, he soon passed the required total of 165 and went on to win the game by 9 points leaving Clive's men to celebrate victory for the second year running.
Thanks go to Adie Bridger and Tony Aldridge for a superb effort in preparing the tables and refereeing.
