NEWSLETTER – SPRING 2023
SPRING PAIRS
The first club competition of the season was played on Saturday in fine weather, when members competed for the Spring Pairs Trophy.
This is a random doubles and some strong pairings were drawn out. In the top half of the draw, Kez Adams and Sue Andersen were paired together and reached the final with wins against Sue Davies and Chris Harding (21-16), George Hitchmough and Pat McArthur (21-15) and in the semi-final, Debbie Barnes and Chris McManus (21-16).
Kez and Sue’s opponents in the final were Keith Maiden and Dave White and it was Kez and Sue who ran out comfortable 21-7 winners. Congratulations to Kez and Sue, who between them have won numerous pairs competitions at the Hesketh Arms. This was the fourth time in six years that Sue has won the Spring Pairs and Kez retained the title he won last season with Janice Hobson.
The Plate competition was won by Darren Edgerley and Jill Lloyd, with a 15-7 win in the final against Bill Bloor and Noreen Lewis.
