Presidents Day 2019

PRESIDENT’S DAY 2019


Congratulations to Bill Bloor on winning the President’s Cup for the first time with a victory over Fergal Wright in the final.
Bill had a tricky route to the final, winning through four tough games against George Hitchmough (21-14), Dave White (21-20), Terry Corfield (21-14) and Peter Smith (21-15). Fergal reached the final with good wins against Ken Rimmer (21-18), Kez Adams (21-15), Tony Wakefield (21-19) and Janice Hobson (21-14). This set up the third final between Bill and Fergal in the last two seasons, with Fergal winning last season’s Rose Bowl and Bill gaining immediate revenge by overcoming Fergal in the 2018 Coronation Cup. Bill led for most of the final and although Fergal won more ends, Bill counted seven 2s to Fergal’s three to edge the final 21-17.


The Plate competition was won by our President Sue Davies, defeating Les Miller 15-9 in the final.


Many thanks to everyone who helped on the day with refreshments and the raffle, which raised over £150.00 for club funds. The final amount will be reported in a future newsletter. Finally, a special mention must go to Sue Davies, for all the work she put in to organising a successful President’s Day.
