I had the honour and privilege this year of not only playing for the County again , but Captaining the Team. I moved up to the O60s this year. ‘ You don’t look old enough’ I hear you say ! If only that were true !
We had a good season competing in Division 1. We won all our matches comfortably except when we went away to Kent. We lost 3-2 and the final match went to a Championship Tie break. It’s a cruel game sometimes ! This meant we finished runners up as Kent went on to win and reach the National Final. I want to thank all the Guys that played in the Team with me this year. They were , in no particular order :
Howard McGuiness
Keith Gilbert
Peter Burgess
Julian Lewis
Stuart Eley
Patrick Osbourne
Tim Wilcock
There was a great team spirit, a great bunch of guys and a real will to win. We will go one better next Year !
Cheers Chaps ! A really enjoyable season.
