Pendle B and C Level Tournament 8^th and 9^th May

Twelve competitors were divided into two blocks of 6 all play all.  Lorna Dewar (1½ ) fresh from her first triple and win over James Hopgood in Edinburgh last weekend, was the favourite in the B Class and so it proved with 4 wins beating Steve Skelton also on 4 wins but winning the clash between the two of them. The C Class was won by Roger Staples winning all games in his block.  

Special mention to Philip Jay and John Henderson in their first Advanced Competition.

The lawns were complimented and stood up to the continuous rain on Saturday.  Sunday proved much brighter. 

Thanks to the manager Peter Wilson who ensured everything ran smoothly and entertained with two spectacular contact leaves, one with all 4 balls in contact in the middle of the lawn!

Pendle Mid-Week AC Tournament 3-6 July 2018

Under baking hot skies with the lawns getting faster, yellower and more difficult by the minute, 12 competitors battled for the 7 trophies on offer. 

An outstanding performance by Joe Lennon from Glasgow saw him win the Low Handicap Block and the overall Egyptian Trophy. The Advance Event was won by Terry Vernazza (Newcastle) with the C Class Advanced event going to Ian Hall from Penrith.  The High Bisque Handicap Event was won by Wendy Spencer- Smith who had travelled all the way up from Watford.  The Doubles Trophy was re-gained by the Peters – Hallett and Wilson. Fastest Game went to Peter Wilson and Most Games played to Bob Thompson (Pinchbeck). 

All games were played in good spirits and much laughter was heard over the four days.  Smartest Sun Shade prize to (it’s a mystery!).  The manager was VERY jealous.  We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
