Scratch Pairs Trophy
Of those that have played the 20 qualifing sessions Current leaders in the Scratch are Dorothy and Alaric with 56.79%. Simon and John a relatively new pairing are ahead on 57.55%
Just to remind you of the rules. You need to play 20 sessions to be eligible to win this trophy and also to qualify for next years Rickard Trophy, top 8 pairs qualify.
Handicap Pairs Trophy
Charlotte and Suzanne are leading the way with 52.51 % Barry and John were closing the gap on 51.43% but Barry can no longer attend on Fridays
Just to remind you of the rules. You need to play 20 sessions to be eligible to win this trophy. You cannot win both the Scratch and Handicap.
Also Simon and John score needs to be adjusted as their first two scores didn't include a handicap rating for John as he had only recently returned to Stowmarket. This may not matter if they win the scratch.

Most Improved Player 2023-24
Wow, so nearly an upset with Conrad Simons massive jump in the last month BUT.... Paul Wilcox managed to hang on a win by the smallest of margins. Tony Aldous our previous leader had a disappointing last month dropping to third.
The Upside Down Cup
Riley's Rockets, the long time leaders, cruised to victory, well done Sam Wilson, Paul Wilcox, Angela Horner and Captain Simon Riley.
Scratch Pairs
Last month I said it could be close! But not this close! A dead heat between George and Tony and Brian and Simon after their last ditch effort. So we now have Joint Winners. Well done and perhaps next year can be just as close.
