Men A
Lost: 28v16
It was a disappointment that four to five players didn’t turn up including the captain. We brought up the B team players to do a job for the A team, they played exceptionally well. To play against the London A team, they did not miss a ball when they got to the table. Berkshire received 7 dishes in total. However, the timekeeping on the London side was unsatisfying.
Outstanding Performance: Frank Callaghan won 3 out of 4.
Men B
Lost: 34v10
A total disaster for the B team. We can never compete against London B team even with our full strength team, but losing our usual B team players to the A team didn’t help. The chance for London came first before ours and they took them well. The second quarter we did not get even one win. Gary Sefton never felt to amuse the team, every chance he gets he turn the match to fudging games and they grind out. Thanks for Ashley Dingley to help out the B team.
Outstanding Performance: Adam Haywood won 2 out of 4.
Men C
Lost: 24v20
There’s no reserve for the team on the day, due to all players were used by the B team. Josh, Dean & Trevor were very unlucky on some of their frames. We managed to give too many frames away.
Outstanding Performance: John Barry won 3 out of 4.
Ladies
Lost: 23v21
We were very unlucky to have lost the total score but all our players seemed played well. We should never have gone that far down to put Susie to play the decider as we have four chances before that to win the match. Overall, the two captains were very pleased with Berkshire’s result. Two ladies are qualified for Champion of Champions, who are Michaela & Claire. Well done to both!
Outstanding Performance: Claire Dormer 4 out of 4, Jenny Bartlett won 3 out of 4.
