| Compton | Home | 5th July | Lost 2:3 | We could get only 3 players and their four were reduced to three with Roger Wood hurting his back. But they could have produced a fourth if required. We agreed to play with just three. Alex Jardine & Mick Greagsby beat Graham Thomson and Mike Cockburn +10 and John Hobbs just lost to Craig Oakley -5. In the afternoon John beat Graham +5, but Alex lost to Craig -15 and Mick lost to Mike -1 on time. That was the last full day that Mick will play this year. |
| Canterbury | Away | 6th September | Won 5:2 | Alex Jardine (1) & Jeff Chapman (16) lost to Roger Loram (1) & Peter Jones (14) -8, John Hobbs (3.5) beat Yvonne Hill (12) +8, Jon Diamond (1.5) beat Brenda Perres (13) +7, Alex lost to Roger -25, Jon beat Yvonne +4, John beat Brenda +3, Jeff beat Peter +4t A solid performance on a gloomy and sometimes damp day. Jon had a strange day: running hoop 5 rather than 2-back in the morning and then in the afternoon rover the wrong way, followed by penult the wrong way and was only stopped in the middle of the peg-out! Still, he managed to recover, only to miss his second peg-out and pegged out one of the balls. Yvonne then hit in and as she was as penult & penult had a good opportunity to win, but eventually Jon hit one of her balls and finished (phew). Alex couldn’t seem to hit much, but in any event Roger’s handicap needs to be reduced as he used his bisques to perfection and, not allowing Alex any real opportunities, won easily. John and Jeff played less well than they liked, but still managed to scratch out wins. |

| Reigate Priory B | Home | 11th July | Lost 3:4 | Jeff Chapman and John Hobbs won the doubles +5 vs. Geoff Gunton and John Timberlake. Richard Mann beat Neil Coote +16. But Mick Greagsby lost to Andy Gray -9 and as you know he was not a well man. In the afternoon John lost to Neil -8, but Mick won against Geoff +4 and the decider was Jeff against John, but they went to time and Jeff lost. |
