In Group A, the Chantry won 5-1
away at the Magnet A, the
Magnet's point enough to book
their place in the Spring Cup
quarter-final. That point
came courtesy of an 8880 knock
from Mike Callanan in the
singles, a win sandwiched
between Chantry victories for
John Fullager (3770) and Mick
Nichol (5530). After the
first doubles fell to the
Canterbury
side, an impressive 3390 for
Fullager & Nichol secured
the bonus points. Nichol
& Kevin Kay just edged Ward
Griffiths & Callanan
1720-1660 in the final frame.
The Brickmakers A and B teams
met, the B emerging 5-1 victors.
The B swept the singles via Nick
Corck (4000), Simon Hart (2850)
and Simon Jones (8440).
The B also won the first
doubles, before the A team's
point, Paul & Ann Garlinge
scoring 1970. Corck &
Jones hit a noteworthy 3480 in
the final doubles for the
Brickies B.
In Group B, the Alma Lions beat
the Butchers Arms 6-0, although
the match was far closer.
Chris Saville (3150) beat Doug
Vickers, but only after Vickers
pegged on a 5600 break.
Terry Laslett beat Audrey
Vickers 1880-1730 in a last-ball
game, and Ted Batchelor (1900)
won after losing 6000 early, but
finishing with a 1500 break.
Alma
captain Wack Sampson played and
won all three doubles for
maximum points.
The
Market
Inn
B
defeated the Fitzwalter Arms
5-1, the
Sandwich
side booking their place in the
quarterfinals, and consigning
their opponents to the Plate
competition. Ted Hogben
(3130) and John Skinner (2350)
won singles for the Market Inn,
either side of a Fitz victory
for Roger Oldfield (3860).
After the first doubles went to
the Market, the crucial fifth
frame could not be closer as
Craig Carlson potted the last
ball down the 100 to enable he
and Hogben to beat Oldfield
& Carl Byford 1430-1410.
Derek Latham & Carlson
scored 2560 to take the final
frame.
The Plough & Harrow from
Bridge finish top of Group C
after a 4-2 win over the Alma B
in Deal. Bill Edwards
(5620) gave the home side the
lead, but the visitors took the
next two as Baz Symes beat John
Mitchell 5950-4900, and Keith
Symes defeated Dave Howarth
9170-3630. Harry Pearson
& Rick Cowdrey picked up the
first doubles to level matters,
but again the Plough took the
next two, Keith Symes & Ian
Dennett (2590) winning the
decisive final frame.
The Greyhound enjoyed a 4-2
victory at home to the Plough
& Harrow from Tilmanstone.
Sam Fuller (1620) put the
Greyhound ahead, Ann Keen (2790)
levelled matters, and Daniel
Jackson (6180) restored the
Sandwich
team's lead, courtesy of a 3840
break. Jackson &
Fuller took the first doubles,
and then secured their first
victory of the Spring Cup with
Dave McNeily & Jackson
scoring 2530. The final
frame saw the Plough's second
point, as Brian Carpenter &
Karen Keen hit 2620.
The
Market
Inn
A
won the all-Sandwich as they
defeated the Greyhound 5-1.
Dave McNeily (2620)
collected the Greyhound’s
point, in-between wins for Alan
Farra (5460) and Gareth Butcher
(4600).
Farra & Dave Carliell
took the first doubles, and the
bonus points were claimed as
Butcher & Christine Farra
scored 2580 to best their
opponents, with the final leg
following suit.
