KINGFISHER A SCOOP LEAGUE TITLE AS SEASON COMES TO AN END
HARI Gehlot and Darren Jones proved too strong for a SONNING COMMON & PEPPARD B team as
KINGFISHER A ran out 7-3 winners in division 1.
In division 2 there were going to be two matches, but OLOP C conceded to TILEHURST METHODISTS A after they didn’t turn up.
There is one further match, on Wednesday, April 20, still to play, but it has no effect on promotion or relegation.
SONNING COMMON & PEPPARD D were 7-3 winners over OUR LADY OF PEACE C, Danny Dockree defeating all three opponents, Binit Bhaskar, Pradeep Desh and Arun Rajagopal.
Mark Jones and Angus Jones each recorded two wins, Mark only losing 11-9 10-12 8-11 11-8 9-11 to Pradeep while Angus narrowly lost 11-8 11-9 7-11 1012 5-11 to Arun, the Commoners third point courtesy of a Doubles win for Pradeep & Binit.
SONNING SPORTS A are champions while READING FC A complete a rise from the bottom division to division 1 by clinching the runners-up spot.
KINGFISHER G and TIDMARSH C are relegated.
In division 3 the final match for TILEHURST RBL B and PANGBOURNE WMC had turned out to be a promotion decider with Pangbourne needed a comprehensive win to catch or overhaul Tilehurst.
In the end Tilehurst won 9-1 to clinch the runners-up spot in a match which was much closer than the final score suggests. Kate Maksimento and John Willcocks both got excellent maximums which meant that Kate has only lost once since early December.
Highlights of the night were Kate recovering from 2-1 down to beat Clive Taylor 11-9 in the fifth and Nick Lean beating John Simmonds 11-8 in the fifth having lost the first two games.
TIDMARSH D’S good second of the season form continued when they beat OLOP E 8-2, although the OLOP team were only able to field one player.
This was Parvin Baishkiyar and he did well to win two sets including a very good three straight victory over Dave Edwards.
SONNING SPORTS B are champions of division 4 with OUR LADY OF PEACE F also promoted as runners-up. TILEHURST METHODISTS B
just miss out in third place.
