CHAMPIONSHIP CUP AND LADIES’ CHAMPIONSHIP 2018

Despite poor weather conditions, the Club’s latest competitions went ahead on Saturday when members competed for the Championship Cup and, for the first time, the Ladies’ Championship.
The Ladies Championship final was between our Club President, Sue Davies and Janice Hobson, both successful players in our Maghull League team on a Monday night. Sue started very strongly in this final and at 16-9 up looked to be heading for a comfortable victory. Janice had other ideas, however, and helped by 4 twos in five ends took the lead at 18-17 before Sue was able to score the chalks needed to win an excellent final 21-19.

 

 

 

 

 

The Championship Cup final was between Chris Harding and Dave Bedford, both previously runners-up in Hesketh Arms Club singles competitions. It was Chris who started strongly in the final, winning nine out of the first eleven ends to establish a 13-7 lead. Despite counting four 2s in the game, Dave was never able to close the gap and Chris eventually won the final 21-16 to claim his first club competition win at the Hesketh Arms.
