C.K.1 Lads 2-7 Mind the Gap

Auxiliary Cup Final

Tipsy Toad Toppers 7-5 Leeson St. Trotters

K.O.Cup Final - C.K.1 Lads v Mind the Gap

Despite a shaky start, Gap completed the league and Cup "double", for the 2nd time. Lads outscored the Gap in the Tons department but didn't convert their scores into point winning doubles.

The champions reputation often helping out at crucial times, but take nothing away from them they are deservedly "double winners".

Gap took an early lead through Sam Salt on D4, plus 89,123, ably assisted by a Che Liam 100, Lads, Steve Dalton, Darren Hurcombe and Bill Leaves 127, shy of nailing the outer circle. A better 2nd triple performance followed, Paul Green, Les Adams 121,100 and stalwart Kevin Wood, 100, D2 squaring the tie. A Salt 100 was converted by a Gordon Cowan D10, for 1-2, Lads managing just a lone 83 from Dalton.

Hurcombe 100,87 and a Dalton ton proved insufficient as Cowan wacked in a 135, partner Paul Moody nailing D2 after a tasty 180. Wood 85,100 and Adams 95, put up a good show in the 2nd pairs but were outgunned by Darren Sanderson's 2x100 and Salt's 83,and 48 out.

Liam and Carlos Escansiano 98, D8 concluded the pairs, Gap 1-5 ahead. Prior to the singles a superb selection of half time "Fayre" was provided by Toad's Andy and Lisa.

Adams 100,100,85,100,64 out, reduced Gap's lead, Esco the recipient, the score now 2-5. Sanderson 97,95,D16 increased his teams advantage against Hurcombe 100, leaving Dalton to face Salt. lt was to prove the final leg, Salt's 81,81,140, just too much for the Lad, Salt closing out 56 for the match. The remaining legs were played out, Liam, Moody, Cowan, all victorious.

POTM - Adams - Salt.

Auxiliary Cup Final

Tipsy Toad Toppers v Leeson St. Trotters

All 12 legs were necessary to determine where the spoils were going in this one. And what a match. Andy Rutter opened for Toppers with a nicely placed D20 and looked likely to go further ahead after 2 tons from John Rodford in the 2nd triple. Not so as Steve Tilley banged in a 180 and D20, for 1-1.

Rodford added a 140 in the 3rd, Tilley replying with a ton, Mark Farmer a 140, only for Lee Maiden to close the leg on 76.

Phil de Lacy 85,100 and Hugh Galloway 81, were out gunned in the 1st pairs by Ken Skinner 95 and Farmer 100,140,D18, for 2-2, the remaining 2 pairs going Toppers way.

Maiden 85,140 and Rutter 140 and a 96 out, disposing of Barry Shingler and Yvonne Rouffignac 95,85, Rodford 100, and Graham Solomans 100,D7 giving Toppers a half time advantage with victory over Kain Hickman and Tilley 2x100. Rutter faced Farmer in the 1st singles, the Topper not quite finding his usual form hitting 100,100,80,the lethal Farmer responding with 100,100,100,D18 for 4-3.

Solomans 81,95,121 did enough to win the next, but found the required double elusive, his opposition, Rouffignac took full advantage with a 13, Bull out, the score now 4-4. Tilley's 140,100,100, would see off most opponents, but not Maiden who somehow ignored the barrage to plant his arrow in D10 for 5-4.

De Lacy 93, D16 made it 6-4 for Toppers only for Shingler to overcome Toppers trump card, Rodford on D1, leaving a last leg "shoot out" between Galloway and Shingler for the Cup. lt proved a "nail biter" for all concerned, Galloway finding D4 and the trophy for Toppers.

POTM - Rodford - Rouffignac.
