Westwater’s unbeaten run goes on

JAMIE Westwater retained his 100% average in Division Four of the Northumbria Summer League when Brandon Crusaders hosted Backspin B.

Westwater won his three matches but it was team-mate Jamie Collins who took Player of the Match as he also won three but lost fewer points overall.

Alan Perry was their third player but he was unable to beat Adam Butler, John Cook or Alex Nicholl, who all won only one match each.

Butler and Nicholl did, however, combine to secure a scintillating victory in the doubles, scraping through 16-14 in the deciding fifth end.

It was a similar story for Redby as they travelled to Lanchester.

The away team’s Istvan Franko and Istvan Soos both claimed hat-tricks, Soos taking Player of the Match, but Andrea Frankone was not able to pick up any victories.

This time, however, Redby also took the doubles - leading to a 7-3 victory over Lanchester’s Reuben Emery, John Rayner and Neil Forster.

Cramlington Jaguars’ line-up of Mick Sursham, Aubrey Drapkin and Daniel McManus faced an Ouston B team consisting of Duncan Hindmarsh, Jamie Milroy and David Nichols.

New player McManus did well to beat Milroy and Nichols but Ouston’s Hindmarsh proved too strong, winning his three and taking Player of the Match.

Sursham beat Nichols but Drapkin was unable to grab a victory - resulting in a 7-3 loss for the home team.

Division Five’s bottom team Brandon Energy lost 10-0 at home to top team Cramlington Falcons.

Brandon’s Keith McKenzie, Jack Huntley and Paul Dunn were unable to win any ends in the singles matches but did nearly win the doubles, eventually losing 11-5 in the fifth end.

This keeps the Brandon side rock bottom of the division but safe from relegation.

Backspin C beat Brandon Fire 7-3, the home team’s Debbie Irwin winning her hat-trick and Player of the Match, supported by two victories from Lyndsey Beacham and one from Martyn Parry.

Brandon’s Bill Maclennan won twice and Abbey Maddison once but Paul Henderson was unable to grab a victory.
