Hamstreet B have produced a 10-0 victory and a 10-0 defeat in recent weeks, highlighting the diverse standards within Division 4 of the Ashford & District League.

They paid a visit to Ashford TT D with the opportunity to get in on the promotion race, but were beaten 6-4. Hamstreet’s Tim Woodhouse picked up the player of the match accolade for his evening’s efforts. Keith Young and Dennis Brindley were unable to get close to him, losing out 3-0, but Glen Walters pushed him all the way to five legs.

New boy to the league,

Darren Holliday, added a fourth victory to his growing tally, a five-set match with Young. Unfortunately for Hamstreet that was the sum total of their efforts for the evening with Holliday losing out to Glen Walters in four legs, and Dennis Brindley in five. Andrew Millbank had a night to forget, losing all his matches 3-0.

Front runners Challock E came off a 10-0 win over Hamstreet and continued their form against Sportsmen C, winning 8-2. Christopher Hazelden top scored for the home side, going undefeated against Maureen Penny, Colin Healey and Alan Brand. He was supported by a brace from both Richard Partridge and Donald Steadman.

The opening night at Repton Connect Community Centre was a success with a friendly atmosphere and lots of new faces.

It will run every Thursday from 8-11pm, at a cost of £2 per head.
