Prize night Friday 22 June

Trophies were presented to the winning teams at the overall winners home 'Inter Bar' this Friday. Prior to going to Inter Bar Joi presented the Nr 1 team with their new shirts for next season and bought the drinks in appreciation of her teams efforts. All then climbed aboard Rons bike to arrive at Inter bar in style. The Trophies were awarded for 1st Inter Bar, 2nd Blue Sky and 3rd Half Moon. Ron then serenaded all with his version of 'House of the Rising Sun' and 'Take me Home', which we then did. Back to Nr 1 but we had all too much to drink. It is rumoured that Inter Bar will not be in the competition next season. Tiger Bar is the new team to enter the competition. The new competition will commence on the 13th July. Joi has also elected me, Garry, as team captain so I will need to get all your contact numbers.

December Bar Away

Well thats it folks the season is over for at least two weeks and some of us will be glad for the break. We thought no one was going to turn up at December Bar for the last game but it seems that they are just late starters but for a team that has struggled to make up the numbers all season they are doing extremely well to be at nr 6. It would have been a feather in our cap if we had been able to beat them and perhaps move up to spot nr 10 but in the end they were just too good for us. Yes we made a couple of mistakes and had a bit of bad luck but in the end even though all the games were extremely close they won. It went game for game in the singles but they were too good in the doubles and the final score was 6/3. Well done team on a good season but we will do better next time. NUMBER ONE NUMBER ONE NUMBER ONE.......

Blue Sky at Home

As the competition draws to a close and only one game remaining the end result is a foregone conclusion with Inter Bar winning the competition virtually from the middle of the season. Hopefully there will be some changes made for next years ladder, the rumours being that there will be an A and a B Grade. Anyway, the social atmosphere still remains and we had a most enjoyable game at home against Blue Sky. It looked like being a runaway win with us being up 4 zip in the opening games but they came back to make it 4/2 at the end of the singles. They had to win all the doubles which was a bit of de javu as we had to do it twice in preceeding weeks and they had done it the preceeding week also. Needless to say we held on by the skin of our teeth and took the last game to make it 5/4. Maybe just enough to get us into A grade (if they have one) next year. Two wins on the trot is a good way to finish so lets hope we keep it up for the final game next week against December Bar.

The Local - Away

After a slow start we should have been all even at the end of the singles but a slight stutter by Kim who followed the black into the oh so easy set up hole. Unusual for him as he is our back stop and we rely on him to get us out of tough situations. So down 4/2 and with our backs to the wall again .... we had to win all three doubles games. Pressure was on each pair in turn, Garry & Ron up first with a win to keep us in the game, then Kim and Dee as the pressure built and finally Pascal and Fern finished it off with a brilliant all round performance. Well done team another 5/4 win.
