Hi all,

Many thanks to all those who came to support Finals Night last night.

As the semi-final was drawn, it guaranteed a first division versus second division final.

Two close semis produced the following results:

Zelma The Giant Hoe (3)    57 - 48   Plasterers Arms (9)

Taxes (15)                           57 - 53   Shipwrecked (16)

The Final was a very exciting affair with scores tied on 49 all after 8 rounds. After Round 9, Zelma ran out winners over Taxes by the narrowest of margins 55 - 54

Congratulations to all semi-finalists for doing so well in this year's competition, and well done to the winners for the first time - Zelma, the second lowest handicapped team.    

Particular commiserations to Taxes who put up such a gallant fight in the final. Good luck to you and all Wirral teams competing in the forthcoming Riley Cup!

Thanks to all teams and players who I know have enjoyed this year's comp. If Clive from Gladly Stoned will forgive me, I'd like to quote from a message he sent me which sums up the whole essence of the competition:

"Everyone I have spoken to is thoroughly enjoying it, especially the chance to play against old friends who we have not seen for a while. A truly fitting tribute to all those no longer playing, for whatever reason, and a testament to the great friendships we have all built up over the years."

Special thanks to Kris for organising the competition and writing all 6 quizzes and we look forward to next year's competition.
