2011 - PAIRS - 2/1/12

2010 - PAIRS - (2/1/11) The same format was used as last year with all entries having 6 time limited games. The top 3 places all went to players from the Scarborough club with the eventual winners being Cyril Ruston and Dennis Thornburn who were the only undefeated Pair scoring the maximum 12 points (+15). Irene Lambeth and John Burgoyne were tied with Elaine Thornburn and Ray Lawson-Howe on 8 points but with a better shot difference (+22 as opposed to +11) it was Irene and Richard who claimed 2nd place. In 4th were Arthur Redfearn and George McDowell (Kirkbymoorside).

2009 PAIRS - (3/1/10) With an entry of only 9 Pairs it was decided to drop the "double pairs" system and replace it with the "Aussie" version of the game with each Pair playing 6 games during the day. By the final session there were three Pairs in with a chance of winning. Irene Lambeth and Richard Burgoyne dropped 3 shots to end up in 3rd place while the runners up were Elaine Thornburn and Cyril Ruston who dropped a single shot. However it was Heather & John Myers with a win in this final session who ended in first place - their second win in this competition.  

The new format was well received by all participants.

2008 PAIRS - (4/1/09) With only 9 entrants the competition took place on a single day with all pairs organised into 3 groups of 3 in the morning.

2005 PAIRS - To avoid New Years Day, the competition this year took place on Sunday 2nd and Monday 3rd (Bank Holiday) and with 18 entrants (from 13 clubs) the format was very similar to last year. All players had three 40 minute games on Sunday (win=2points, draw=1point) and three 30 minute games on Monday (win=3points, draw=1point). All points gained from these two stages were added together and the four top teams then went on to play in a Semi-Final with the winners playing a Final. These were John & Heather Myers (13 points), Richard & Dorothy Kay (10 points, +8 shots), Graham & Linda Sherburn (10 points, + 6 shots and Barry & Joan Crossland (9 points, + 15 shots). The eventual winners were Barry & Joan from Flixton who beat John & Heather (last years winners) from Kirbymisperton whilst in 3rd place were   Graham & Linda from Flixton who beat Richard & Dorothy from Boroughbridge in the playoffs.

2004 TOP 10 - Although this competition was held last year, it was only open to teams from the Scarborough League so could not be classed as a truly "Open" event. This year the organiser, Edwin Smith decided that entries would be welcome from across the county. Last years format was repeated with 10 teams of 10 players playing on 10 mats laid down in the sports hall at Raincliffe School. The teams were composed of two Pairs and two Triples with all competitors having 5 games timed at 35 minutes each. By the end of the day the Flixton team had accumulated 28 points to win whilst both Kirbymisperton and Kirkbymoorside ended on 25 points (Kirbymisperton having the better shot difference). In fourth place on 24 points was a hybrid team from Easingwold/Raskelf/St. Cuthberts/Gt. Ouseburn.

A close second were Simon Holtby and Rose Haynes (Great Ouseburn) who only lost a single game to end with 12 points (shot diff. of +32). In third place were Barry and Joan Crossland (Flixton).
