Matthew takes the AC High Handicap Plate

A new member who joined only this year, Matthew Miles-Griffiths (22), won our Club AC High Handicap Tournament on 16 September, when he defeated last year’s winner, Richard Coward (11), by winning all his matches.  Richard came 2nd and Paul Franklin (18) 3rd.
 
A warm autumn day with plenty of sunshine was enjoyed by all six players, two of whom were also new to the club this year namely, Kenny Weir (24) and Stephen Crampton (24). It looks like we have some exciting talent for the future.
 
With Matthew and Richard both on an equal number of wins, their last game was in effect the final as whoever won, would take the Plate trophy. Once he had used all his bisques, it seemed unlikely that Matthew would be victorious but his determination and skill saw him win by +3 hoops. A well-deserved triumph but hard luck to Richard.
 
The players were Matthew Miles-Griffiths, Richard Coward, Roger Golding, Paul Franklin, Kenny Weir and Stephen Crampton.
 
Well done to our new AC Champ!
