Week 13 Report – w/b 18 December

Some close matches in division 1 this week. Torrington A kept up their lead in the division with a 6-4 win over Smugglers. Ben and Kevin Taylor didn't bring any Yuletide presents to the table as they won all of their games to ensure the win. The Smugglers team won one game each and took the doubles to keep the score close. Misfits beat Nets and Edges by a similar margin, though the Edges Martin Eyles was star player with 3 wins. Keith le Milliere, Peter Kneil and Martyn Beer each won two. 

In the other game Spin Doctors had a good win – 7-3 -over Balls of Fury. Michael Sussex was unbeaten on the night ably supported by Dave Ewen and Dave Morgan with 2 wins each. Marcus Berry with 2 provided the only resistance on the night.

In division 2, Chulmleigh B cemented their lead with a 10 point win over Despicables. They were helped by Malc Overson's injury which we hope will improve swiftly.
