DOVER DEAL AND DISTRICT BAR BILLIARDS LEAGUE.

'A' Interleague Champions Again!!; 

The 'East' team retained the title that they had won last year for the first time in 25 years. Front line performances came from skipper Chris Saville and Tim Hayes who both won all of their six matches. Mike Callanan and Tim Bourner won four, Neville Potts and Alan Smith won three with John Mitchell and Ted Batchelor two apiece. The 'West' team had one of those days finishing last. John Fullager won five out of six, Keith Symes four, Roger Standen and Ian Dennett three, Alan Farra and Kevin Kay two and Baz Symes won one. Poor old Mick Nichol didn't win any despite scoring 5730 against Tim Hayes.  

Ladies Interleague; Two teams of four played against two Medway teams. Our 'A' team came second to Medway 'A' with skipper Ann Keen winning five out of six, Anne Cope and and Lin Callanan got three and Karen Keen two. The 'B' team were just pipped for third spot by the Medway 'B' team with Marina Morrison (guest), Anne Garlinge and Sheila Howarth all winning three. Tanya Philpott nearly grabbed one on her first interleague appearance, narrowly losing with 2110.

Not much this month;

To Quote Craig,the Comp Sec fell foul of the 2k bust rule.  Me & Dan were playing Simon Jones & Paul Dargan, Simon Hart was scoring.  There was loud music playing, and an even louder pool match going on, so I couldn't hear the scorer. I guessed I was on about 1600-1700, so decided to play one last shot and then ask the score.  The last shot was the white in the 50, and red down the hundred 250 points.  After playing the shot, I asked the current score - which was 2010 - doh!
