‘D’ team juniors to take on old hands

The lads of third division Southport ‘D’ team (average age 14) will play first division Formby Holy Trinity ‘C’ (average age somewhat more than 14 ;-) ) in the final of the Gunson Plate handicap on Tuesday 24th March at St Teresa’s.

In the semi-finals, the juniors beat a strong Formby HT ‘E’ by just 4 points, after allowing for Formby’s 60 point advantage, whilst Formby HT ‘C’ easily overcame a 140-point handicap to beat Southport ‘C’ by 31 points.

We have now learned that the juniors will start with a 180-point advantage so perhaps the balance has swung in their favour, but it’s still going to be a close match with youthful exuberance pitted against guile and experience.

Don’t miss it – tonight at St Teresa’s CMS Club.

Gunson Cup – Round 1

This handicap competition uses a different scoring system from the League and Anon Cup fixtures.

  • Firstly, there are no doubles events.
  • Each player plays 2 singles events, each event consisting of 5 games up to 11 points.
  • When one player reaches 11, the game is over and the next game is played, until all 5 games are complete.
  • The number of points won by each player during the 5 games is added up to give the score for the event.
  • At the end of the match, the totals for each team are added up.
  • The handicap adjustment is added to the totals.
  • The team with the greater total after adjustment will be the winner.

The handicap is decided after each round draw by the League’s committee based on the playing strength of the 4 strongest players registered for the team.

The draw involving Southport teams is as follows:

A team – Away – vs Formby TTC ‘D – handicap + 70 points
B team – Away – vs North Meols ‘B’ – handicap “scratch”
