Congratulations to Colin Moore (London Sphnynx) on being crowned as the Ste Rimmer Memorial League Singles champion for the third year running, by beating David Grundy (Tarleton) 21-13 in a well contested final at Hoole Village Hall. In the first 13 ends of the final, Colin took a commanding lead of 14-3 playing exceptionally well on his favoured 3/4 length marks. However, David fought back to 13-17 in the next 9 ends using is superior green knowledge but Colin then scored 4 chalks in the next two ends to ensure victory 21-13. Earlier in the day, Colin looked like he was going out in the semi-final when he trailed Steve Howard 18-9 who was playing a round peg mark down one edge of the green extremely well until he sent the block off the green. From this position, Colin made a remarkable comeback & ran out to win 21-18 playing his favoured 3/4 length mark. Losing Semi-Finalists were Mike Fagan (Scarisbrick NSC) & Steve Howard (Mere Brow). At the end of the event, Anne Brogden (President) presented the trophy & prizemoney to all prizewinners after the secretary had thanked all the competitors for taking part & Hoole Village Hall BC members for helping run the event on the day as well as thanking the greenkeeper for producing an excellent green.
