Mercury report submitted by Edna Fletcher on 17/01/10

The group rounds of the Spring Pairs Competition have been completed and some interesting results emerged- notably the advancement made by the younger players in every tournament they play

St John’s “A”  Bob Lamb with Ray Lee won Group “A” the former was unbeaten- new player Curtis Robinson playing for Kings Church “C” had a narrow win of  21 – 20 over Ray

Burrage were good runners –up- Ernie George and Ryan Moore dug in to overcome their big handicaps and racked up seven points

Group “B” played at Mill Lane saw two teams – St John’s “B”  Paul Wright Snr and Jnr . and Kings Church Crusaders represented by Curtis Beales and Brendan McManus tie for top position-  in the play off Curtis beat Paul Jnr 21 – 15 for the extra point that took his team to victory-  Robin Tovell and Paul White were the players for BSC and Derek Humphries and John Smith for Mill Lane Beacons

Thanks go to Mike Harvey who was the referee for this group

In Group “D”  Kings Church “D” team failed to arrive thus reducing the teams to three

ENSFC  “B”  represented by Alex Harley and Peter Littleboy came out top with seven points followed by Hospital Police- Tony Shaw and Steve Allen – and Chris Durrant and Brendan Green for Hospital Sparks

Group “D” saw Hospital “A” battle their way to victory- Stuart Baxter played very well to overcome his – 14 handicap losing only  one game to Martin Piggot and was supported by Simon Allen with six points

A great battle for Runner-up spot between Kings Church “A” Mill Lane and ENSFC “A” with the  latter stealing the position by one point

Group “E” was probably the most exciting with eight games being won/lost at  21 – 20

Kevin Chaney was involved in three and came out unbeaten and with team mate Chris Neve backing up took the group title

Hospital Claydon- Brian Cunningham and Roy Pells  wer good runners-up followed by Hospital Telecom / Kings “B” and Gorleston Conservative Club- the latter team lost three of their games 20 – 21

The tournament secretary would like to thank all who helped to make the tournament run smoothly
