2013 (AC - Handicap)
Twelve players competed in 2 blocks for the traditional end-of-season singles event for a mixture of high and low bisquers, ranging from 16 to 0. The weather was reasonable but even the standard width hoops and true lawns resulted in 30% of the matches going to the 3 hour time limit, with some double banking.
Praise was due to the back marker and Roehampton member Tim Russell (0) who manfully won 5 out of his 7 matches (giving away a total of 62 bisques) through efficient tactical play but that wasn't good enough in the final block play-off to deny Carole McLoughlin from Ealing (12) so gaining her first win in the event with a 7/7 record. Her handicap is now down to 10. Tim deserved further praise for providing a bottle of wine on behalf of all, for the manager, and tasty biscuits for enjoyment over the 3 days.
