CLOSE RESULTS IN CUP FINALS
Report by Clive Warley
There were close finishes in both finals of this season’s handicap cup competitions, held at the Railway Institute on Thursday 8th May.
Nestle Rowntree ‘B’ recovered from being 3-0 down in the Shepherd Cup final against York RI ‘J’. The fight back started in game 4 with Dave Simpson beating Jason Parker 46-41. Bob Lee then had a remarkable win over Gareth Stott 55-49. Gareth had earlier beaten Dave Simpson 48-46. In game 6 RI restored their advantage as Elaine Gears beat Keith Webster 56-45. Bob Lee then beat young Jason Parker 55-45. The crucial 8th match could have gone either way and in a nail-biting game Dave Simpson overcame a determined Elaine Gears 46-45 to level the match. Keith Webster then produced some outstanding hits to beat overcome Gareth Stott 45-33 to lift the Cup 5-4.
The Machell Trophy, for teams beaten in the first round of the Shepherd Trophy, was just as exciting, as Groves Associated ‘B’ edged Sessions ‘A’ 5-4. Star for Groves was Paul Kozyra who won all of his three matches. Chris Hutchinson and Martin Hood won 1 game each for Groves. For Sessions, Mick Willcockson won 2 and Chris Nicholls and Nigel Thorn won one each.
The prizes were presented by Steve Tindall from the sponsors NEDL.
