CHAMPIONSHIPS – TRIPLES RESULT

Triples 06/12/2025

Saturday the 6th saw the latest in our championships, the Triples, being played out.
There were twenty-one entries this year (down two on last year) which were played in five groups (1×5 and 4x4s) This resulted in the group winners and ‘next best’ eleven going into the ‘Last 16’ round. The eight teams that made it to the quarter finals produced the following results:-

Pat Lawry, Tom Wakefield, Shirley Wakefield. (9)
v
Alan Banthorpe, Gill Fletcher Pat Banthorpe. (5)

Daniel Agar, James Clarke, Steve Duffin. (9)

Malcom Dibb, Pat Jones, Sue Dibb. (1)

David Newsome, Joseph Newsome, Jill Newsome. (7)
v
David Hunton, Debbie Taylor, David Brown. (5)

Peter Sayer, Richard Lochman, Tony Tennyson. (12)
v
John Drew, Mick Gudgeon, Gillian Da Silva (1)

In the Semi’s Peter’s three beat Pat’s team (13 – 3) and the Newsomes’ beat Daniel’s three (12 – 1)

It was a second final appearance for Tony, Richard & Peter this year as they were part of the victorious Fours team in November. However, in the end they were beaten in a closely fought game by the Newsomes’ (10 – 8) giving David a second championship title in seven days, adding to the singles title that he took last Sunday.

All games were played over eight ends. The Umpires for the day were Anna Naughton (N. Yorkshire) and Alan Debenham (Humberside) The raffle, once more run by Pat Jones, raised a useful £81 for county funds.
