LEAGUE SINGLES HANDICAP

£100 first prize sponsored by Radcliffe Floorings.

The final took place on Friday, June 17, at

In particular I would like to thank Dobbies Sports and Social Club for hosting the final, and of course Hugh Blenkharn for looking after the competition while I was off climbing mountains in Italy and France.

Its a tough job but someones got to do it!

Unfortunately, some of the administrative details regarding the paperwork didnt work out as anticipated and I did not receive copies of the draw sheets for most of the qualifying venues.

I need to know the names of all the players who lost in their first match in the qualifiers, so that I can amend their handicaps accordingly for next years competition.

If you fall into this category, please give your name to your team delegate so that they can tell me who you are at the above delegates meeting.
