Wednesday, October 30 social play was taken out by Baz Jackson in a very welcome return after recent eye surgery.
The game is hard enough on full size tables with perfect vision, so Baz performed very well against the odds to come out a winner.
Well played also to runner up Mick Dixon who is continuing to improve his handicap and get the feel of the local tables.
The Club Challenge final was held on Monday, October 28 and Darren Thompson continued his strong return to form by taking out the event over Tony Cincotta.
