Wessex League
The Wessex League

The 2023-24 Wessex League season is reaching its climax, and has been, as always, an enjoyable set of matches to take part in. Wallingford have 5 teams in the main Evening League, and 2 teams in the Daytime League.

In the Evening League, Wallingford A have been playing in Division 2 this year. Wins against Summertown, Abbey Smith and Oxford D were offset by losses against Banbury and Blewbury, to leave us in 3rd position and remaining in Division 2 for next season. I think a record number of players have been involved in A team matches this year, so thank you to everyone who has played their part this season.

Wallingford B, C and D have all been playing in Division 3, which is always a tightly contested division, but this year has proved especially so. Wallingford C are in the best position, with one match to play they lie in 3rd, but still have a mathematical possibility of coming in any of the six positions in the league. A win of 14 IMPs or more would lift them above their final opponents Wantage A into the promotion places, whilst defeat by more than 95 IMPs would see them relegated. With all of their matches completed, out of a total of a possible 100 VPs, Wallingford B, Wallingford D and Aylesbury Aces have been "separated" by only 0.67 VPs - Wallingford D just getting in front of the other two, thanks largely to an excellent win against 2nd placed Wantage A and now secure of a place in Division 3 next season, with Aylesbury Aces just behind them and Wallingford B very marginally below and unfortunately now definitely relegated to Division 4. Many thanks to captains Stuart Fox (B), Patricia Hones (C) and Peter Dyer (D) for their hard work this season.

The success story of this year's Evening League has been Wallingford E, who have ensured a top place finish in Division 4 and promotion to Division 3 for next year. They beat Oxford E, F and G and also Abbey Smith B to win 4 out of 5 matches. Well done to the whole team, Gerry Bacon, Andrew Billson, Perella Bridgland, Richard Crawford, Roger Elliot, Aine Fox, Piers Heyworth, Lesley Hughes, Diane Mitchell, Gillian Moore, Tom Rogerson (captain), Desmond Walsh and Cindy Woods.

In the Daytime League, both Wallingford teams competed in Division 2 this season. Wallingford A had a mixed season, starting with a narrow win against Wallingford B and finishing with a big win against Oxford Ashmolean to ensure they stay in Division 2 for next season. Wallingford B had a very good season, beating Summertown B, Oxford Ashmolean and Oxford Bodleian to secure 2nd place and promotion to Division 1. Well done to that team as well, Perella Bridgland (captain), Richard Crawford, Peter Dyer, Lesley Hughes, Diane Mitchell and Anna Wright.

A huge thank you to everyone who has played for Wallingford in the Wessex League this year, and I very much hope you will all be willing to continue doing so next year.
