Winter League

Posted on 20 Feb '18 by Andy Fitzgerald

On Sunday last we had the continuing saga of the Winter League Competition as it continues to draw to a close with the Final to be held Sunday next at 11.00a.m.This week we had the quarter and semi final play offs to see who the finalists would be.A good crowd had come to watch the matches.
First up we had Seves Sockets v Christys Gang.The fixture was a close match with Christys Gang giving an excellent performance to make Seves team pull out the stops to finally win.
Notable performance by Evelyn O Gorman to claim a scalp win over Tony Mc Donnell.
Second Quarter final produced the closest match of the day.The matches finished level and they had to have a play off. The Diggers sent Steven Needham out to play against the Lady Captain Tracey Smith,who tried hard and had a good game,but Steven was determined to make sure his Team progressed and to Avoid the dreaded scalp.
The Smurphs progressed with ease as the Fridge Magnets found the going tough and were left out in the cold.
The final match was another walk in the park for Flynns Flyers who brushed aside Gents Captain Philip Sweeneys team who were not at the races!!!!

Next to the Semi Finals which saw the Diggers dig their way to the Final with a win over the Smurphs.
The next Semi Final saw the Holders Seves Sockets win by bringing the Flying Flynns down to earth.
Finally to finish this report i am not forgetting the ladies having their say with Catherine Leonard taking the scalp of Dave Lee and Linda Thomson who took the scalp of Ted Flynn.
At this stage i am getting tired and i will say many will be asleep by the time they have read this Marathon report.
Thats all for now,see you next week.
Dont forget the Club Lockers @ 20Euro and the Club holders @ 10Euros.
I think ill give this job back to Marie Rooney!!!!!
The Final should be a classic encounter between the holders Seves Sockets V The Diggers
