CHAIRMAN’S SHIELD
Congratulations to Kez Adams and Liam Gregson on winning the Chairman’s Shield at the weekend by overcoming Derek Ainsworth and Roy Webster in a high-quality final.
Kez and Liam had a tough draw in their first game against Vultures team-mates Kevin Leddy and Steve McManus and had to stage a comeback to win 21- 19. They followed this with wins against Janice Hobson and Derek Wignall (21-5) and Wayne Graham and Kevin McCormack (21-15).
Derek and Roy started off with a win against Darren Edgerley and John Hughes (21-15) before progressing to the final with comfortable wins against Jeff Brown and Kim Montgomery and in the semi-final, last year’s winners Brian Sutton and Dave White.
The final looked to be going in favour of Derek and Roy as they led 16-11 but Kez and Liam counted four to narrow the gap to 15-16 and a three at the sixteenth end helped them to a 21-17 victory.
