OK I know the No 3 team have not finished their fixtures as I write but as Scott of the Antarctic once said "I may be some time" if I keep hanging on for their completion, so much so that I will have forgotten what happened with the other teams given my advancing years!
Starting with the young uns, obviously it was tough in their debut season and as tends to happen with struggling teams one or two lost interest and started other pursuits which meant they weren't always available for the team, sometimes at short notice. So Shaun had a thankless job as captain and needed a bit more support at times, not only that but it does spoil the league for everyone else if players start not turning up or pulling out at short notice.
At least the team have managed a couple of wins lately and have been helped out by the league's special dispensation rule which means they can call on other players from the club to help them try to fulfil their fixtures.
The No 2 team look likely to win the "B" Division section of the league and had some excellent wins during the campaign, they used a large squad of players and Simon Zoppi enjoyed a good year individually which could yet see him win the most matches in the section (still waiting on a few results).
The No 1 team thankfully showed a few signs of perking up late on in the season after a good start and a poor middle bit but finished with exactly half the points available to them which was down on last year though that was expected with the unavoidable loss of a player and generally less table time for a few of the lads.
So overall a mixed bag but hopefully the only way is up both for the club's fortunes and local snooker in general!!
