Wintry day for GC competition

 Twenty hardy souls gathered for a 9.30 start on a fine but chilly day. The sun finally broke through in the afternoon but the north westerly wind reminded us that Winter is almost upon us.

TonyJollyBlockAWinner.jpgBlock A, with 8 competitors, managed 6 rounds at the end of which Tony Jolly and Liz Farrow were level pegging with 5 wins and +9 net hoops each. However, Tony had beaten Liz just before lunch so he was declared the winner.

JohnLowBlockBWinner.jpgIn Block B, with 6 entrants, John Low won all his games, four 7-5 and one 7-6, so all very close but clearly ahead of Paul Green and David Dickins with 3 wins each.

JillRichardsonBlockCWinner.jpgBlock C, also with 6 players, saw everyone win at least 2 games. Jill Richardson won the Block with 4 wins, just ahead of Sue Nicholas with 3.

Despite the heavy rain earlier in the month the lawns played well and many thanks are due to Steve & Ray for cutting and marking them before the tournament.

Grateful thanks as well to Rachel Pointon for preparing a welcome & warming soup plus a ploughman's for lunch.

Finally, it was nice to see Martin Daniels back at Sussex County after his recent problems.
