Plough & Harrow, Bridge vs Alma Lions
Spring Cup, FINAL played at Magnet Inn, Deal
Result : 0-4

Keith Symes 1,720 4,630 Neville Potts
Ian Dennett 3,360 9,190 Chris Saville
Baz Symes 3,400 7,180 Kevin Pringle
Baz & Ian 1,080 1,950 Neville & Kevin

The final of this years' Spring Cup competition was played
at the Magnet Inn in Deal and was won convincingly by the Alma Lions, Deal
as they overpowered the Plough & Harrow from Bridge in an awesome display to
retain the trophy.
The P&H won the toss and chose to be the home team, but lost
the first advantage as Neville Potts (4,630) played the table well on his
way to beating Keith Symes, Chris Saville (9,190) then produced a masterful
display to defeat Ian Dennett, including an opening break of 8,880 to put
the Deal side 2-0 up.  The final singles was also won by the Alma team as
Kevin Pringle (7,180) defeated Baz Symes, thanks to two solid breaks during
the game.
This then left the P&H team needing to win all three doubles
matches, and claw back an aggregate points lead of over 12,000 - something
nearly impossible in the triangles format rules. This proved the case as the
first doubles match was won by Potts & Pringle (1,950) for the Alma side to
secure a 4-0 overall victory and retain the Cup they won last year.
The league would like to thank the Magnet Inn for allowing
them to play the Final at their pub, and the many other landlords who
welcomed the quarter & semi-final matches at their venues this year.
