Unbeaten Crusaders march on to leave Back’s squad in a spin!

ONLY Brandon Crusaders have won both of their matches so far in Division Four of the Northumbria Summer League.

They travelled to Oxhill Youth Club to play Backspin B and prevailed 6-4.

Jamie Westwater won his three, supported by Jamie Collins with two.

Ouston B’s players all claimed two matches each plus the doubles when they faced Cramlington Jaguars.

However, John Murrells proved too good as he collected his hat-trick and Player of the Match Award.

Unfortunately this was not enough for the visitors as Ouston won 7-3.

Redby made a good comeback after losing last week to the leaders Brandon Crusaders when they beat Lanchester 7-3.

Malcolm Deneven and Frank Booth both secured victory hat-tricks but Alan Kent, Martin Johnson and Jeff Singleton were all able to beat the home side’s Angela Wilkinson, which meant they took three points from a 7-3 defeat.

Brandon and Backspin also faced each other in Division Five this week as Fire hosted Backspin C in a closely-contested 6-4 defeat for the home team.

Brandon’s Bill Maclennan triumphed in his three matches but teammates Abbey Maddison and Paul Henderson could only chip in one between them in support.

Backspin’s Lyndsey Beacham and Bob Cook both took two wins and Martyn Parry helped out with another plus the doubles to seal the victory.

Ethan Brown was the star player when East Boldon B faced Cramlington Knights as he saw off Patrick Easton, Matthew Mastaglio and John Hogg.

Mastaglio and Hogg both won two matches when they beat the home team’s Duri An and Sophie Richardson, plus the doubles - which helped them to a 5-5 draw.

Two Cramlington teams also battled it out when the Magpies faced the Lions.

Alan and Tony Roskilly both sealed hat-tricks and Rohan Rawat chipped in with another as the Lions came through 8-2 against the Magpies’ line-up of Taylor Rippington, Oliver Ho and Jessica Yang.
