ECR Triples
The Eastern Counties Region triples tournament took place on Sunday
and in glorious weather there was a high standard of play.
After squeezing through the morning group stages on points difference the team of Frank Britt, Adam
Buxton & Vince Schofield, then took the competition by storm. In the semi finals they defeated Chris
Allen, Vanessa Webb & Clare Courtney 13-2 with some cracking shooting from Buxton.
In the final they
met the strong team of Simon Bird, Sofiane Lachani and Trevor Blows. With Britt pointing well, backed
up by accurate shooting from both Buxton & Schofield, they raced into a 10-2 lead. Despite a mini
comeback the Swan/Chequers team took the game 13-6 and will now represent the region in the Champion of
Champions tournament.
The Feering Bell team of Dave & Jack Pearse and Dave Bird did well to reach the plate final where they
were up against a very strong Victorians side from Theydon Bois.
Ritesh Lungut, Tupsy Leckraj & Dave
Tarling only just missed out on the main competition on points difference. Despite some good pointing
by both Dave Bird & Jack Pearse backed up by accurate shooting from Dave Pearse the Victorians team
were just too strong and ran out comfortable winners.
