ALMA ‘A’ WIN LEAGUE CUP

  Alma were always in control following two big wins from Tim Bourner (6640) and Chris Saville (7520 with a 6800 opening break). John Fullager gave Chantry a chance with the nights highest score 8350 (7000 opening break). Crucially Alma took the first pairs when Gill Saville and John Mitchell pipped Roger Standen and John Fullager 3710 – 3310. This meant that Chantry had to win the last two legs with high scores and although Mick Nichol and Kevin Kay took the second pairs with 5310, it was not to be as Alma sealed the match when John Mitchell and Ted Batchelor took the last pairs.

ALMA ‘B’ WIN LEAGUE CUP PLATE.

Alma ‘B’ completed the double for the pub by taking the first four legs against the Brickmakers.The match started disastrously for the Brickie with Paul Garlinge blacking three times before succumbing to Anne Cope’s  2490, the highest score of the night. Audrey Vickers won the second (1310) and Harry Pearson pinched the third on the last ball (1350). Anne and Harry then teamed up to take a tight first doubles by 420, before consolation wins for the Brickies from Alan Garlinge and Craig Lancaster, both partnering Ann Garlinge.

We go into our summer recess this week, so reports will be intermittent until our main league starts again in September.
