END OF SEASON REPORT

It was a very tight finish in the Brown Cup. With only their head-to-head match to play, the teams captained by Mike Perkins and Ed Scerri were first and second in division 1. Scerri went into this match 9 VPs in arrears but overcame this deficit with a 16-4 victory. 


Congratulations to Ed and his team (Steve Eginton, Gary Jones, Peter and Dee Lindon) and sympathetic condolences to the runners-up. Mention should also be made of Gordon Maxwell’s team who were a strong third in their debut season in the top division.


Congratulations also go the winners of the other divisions:
Division 2: David Owen (Evelyn Crossley, Naomi Gibbs, Mike Rawlins)
Division 3: Simon Husband (Alex Chiang, Sandra Claridge, Nick Doe, Nicola Sutton)
Division 4: Sarah Ward (Marguerite Ehinger, Bridget Hughes, Kim Sedgwick)
