the
Dover

Deal & District Bar
Billiards League report for this

starts on 1st June, so
there will be a few weeks break:
-
Results: -
Spring Cup Final: Chantry 3 Alma
Lions 3.
Plate Final: Plough & Harrow
Tilmanstone 4 Fitzwalter Arms 2.
The Chantry have won the Spring
Cup, after a 3-3 draw against
the Alma Lions, and outscoring
their opponents on aggregate.
Neville Potts gave the
Alma
an early lead in beating John
Fullager 3720-3340 - Fullager
had led until a late winning
break from Potts. Mick
Nichol beat Ted Batchelor
5040-1560 to level the tie for
the Chantry, before Chris
Saville regained the
Alma
lead with a 3820-1400 victory
over Kevin Kay.
Going into the
triangles-format doubles, the
Chantry had built a healthy
points lead, but were trailing
2-1, so needed to win two of the
three doubles. Kay &
Fullager beat Batchelor &
Wack Sampson 1980-1300, followed
by a 2350-1150 success for
Nichol & Kay over Saville
& Tim Hayes. The
Alma
trailed by 2560 points going
into the final frame, and
although Potts & Sampson
beat Fullager & Nichol
1600-1430 to force the 3-3 draw,
the points advantage proved
decisive for the Chantry.
The Plough & Harrow from
Tilmanstone have won the Plate
competition after a 4-2 win
against the Fitzwalter Arms.
Ann Keen gave the Plough an
excellent start in beating Roger
Oldfield 2440-1760, and Karen
Keen made it 2-0 as she defeated
Steve
Lake
2450-910. A 3280-1970
victory for Mark Graves against
Brian Carpenter gave the Fitz
some hope. A big 2170-1130
win for Carpenter & Ann Keen
against Graves & Lisa
Goddard in the first triangles
game put the Plough 3-1 and
leading handsomely on points.
The Fitz needed comprehensive
victories in the final two
frames, and Oldfield & Carl
Byford started well, overcoming
Karen Keen & Carpenter
1710-700. A repeat of that
was required in the last leg,
but Ann & Karen Keen played
steadily to beat Lake &
Byford 1500-620 to claim the
Plate
