Meridian League

In a remarkably close finale to last year’s competition Crouch finally triumphed, winning the League by just three points from Newhaven and Mackie. Peacehaven were just five points behind. The closeness of this result speaks volumes for the levels of skill now spread evenly across the six clubs which participate. Bring on the 2010 season!

Brighton, Hove and District League

The ‘A’ Team started slowly, without scoring in their first game at Preston. A tough season followed but it all came down to the last match at Mackie where their fate was finally sealed. This means Division 2 this year.

The ‘B’ Team started strongly but our challenge fell by the wayside as both Lancing and Woodingdean ‘B’ emerged as powerful opposition. Fortunately we managed to avoid the embarrassing position of having to apply for re-election for the second season running as did Lewes ‘B’. It seems Hangleton ‘B’, having withdrawn from the league at the halfway stage, have applied for re-election instead.

County Competitions

Our commiserations went to Pat Giles and Mary Skinner who lost narrowly in their area finals of the Ladies Champion of Champions and Unbadged singles respectively. But good omens for this year.

Newhaven and District Evening League.

Kestrels won the League again. The rewards for success were financial with £100 going to the League winners and £50.00 to the winners of the Jubilee Cup. There was a severe danger that Kestrels would be able to afford a night out on the tiles on the proceeds. But GUESS WHO prevented them making another clean sweep? RIGHT! The FLYING FISH took the Jubilee Cup. The proceeds were spent at the pub of our Founder in Denton in January "between snows".
