New season starts 20th September 2010

September 17, 2010 — admin

First off is Monday’s match between North Meols B and Southport C. You might be excused for wondering how that is possible looking at last season’s final league tables: North Meols B were promoted from division 2 and Southport C were relegated. However, in their places, two of the sides promoted from division 3 were North Meols C and Southport D, and since then both clubs have radically restructured their teams. The result is unpredictable, to say the least.

Next up, Southport A entertain St Teresa’s D, and again the result is hard to call. Southport’s first match means an immediate call-up for first reserve Jonathan Cummins against a St Teresa’s line-up which may be affected by the withdrawal of their C team from the first division.

On Wednesday, the all-junior Southport E team takes on North Meols D, a family affair which normally includes Dennis and Val Morley and their grandson Oliver Moir, while Argyle C play hosts to a somewhat weakened Southport F team, which has lost Alan Town to the D team.

A revamped Southport B includes three juniors from last season’s C team; their improvement over the season came too late to save them from being relegated, but we hope it will be enough to keep them up this time. The B team will have to share the hall with the much changed Southport D, choosing from Alan Town, Jeff Cummins, Tom Taylor, Ken Ray and Kamil Zadroga.

Best wishes to all the teams for the coming season!

Colin Fyles is new club champion!

Colin Fyles holding the Bertrand Travis Cup after beating Paul Lunan in the club championships

With no time to play the last match on Sunday, Colin Fyles and Paul Lunan had to play the final of the club championship competition on Thursday evening.

On a very warm evening, each player needed only 15 minutes warm up before squaring up to each other. After a very cagey start from both players (the first set lasted almost 7 minutes and finally went to Colin 11-9), Colin found his backhand flick/smash to be the most effective way to win points and Paul had no answer as Colin raced ahead to take the next two sets 11-5, 11-7.

The win was a true reflection of Colin’s form throughout the competition and confirms his number 1 rank in the club.

His name has now been added to this illustrious list of previous winners:

1960 - 61 - D Gunson
1961 - 62 - D A Ashby
1962 - 63 - P G Longhurst
1963 - 64 - D A Ashby

1965 - 66 - D A Ashby
1966 - 67 - J Watts
1967 - 68 - J Watts
1968 - 69 - D A Ashby
1969 - 70 - D A Ashby
1970 - 71 - P R Beatham

1972 - 73 - P R Beatham
1973 - 74 - F W S Smith

Club Championship

July 7, 2010 — admin

Pat Boylett, winner of the Handicap Plate, with Oliver Cox, the other finalist.


We had a very successful competition day on Sunday, 4th July, with 19 people entering the main event. This started at around 2.15pm, with four Groups of 4 or 5 players, each person playing all the others in the group. The top 2 in each group then progressed to a knock-out stage. The final was due to be played between Colin Fyles and Paul Lunan, but we ran out of time. This match will therefore be played on Thursday, 8th July during the usual practice evening.

Those who were unsuccessful in the main event could then enter the Handicap Plate competition. Seven people entered for this, and handicaps, which had been decided before the main event started, were applied at the start of each game. Each match consisted of the best of 5 games, each game being played until one person reached 11 points.

The eventual winner was Pat Boylett.

Formby youngsters take 3rd Division championship

Formby TTC F before winning the 3rd Division

Formby TTC F pulled off a remarkable victory against division leaders Southport D to take the 3rd division championship by 1 point. Needing to win 8-2 at Southport, the visitors quickly went into a 5-0 lead, though Andy Hickey got one back for the home team to restore some hope. After a break for some quality refreshments, Formby extended their lead to 7-1 with fine wins by Matthew Cranny over Alan Nolan, and Tom Miller over Tom Banton.

With just the doubles to play, and Southport needing to win both, the scene was set for a thrilling finish. Both teams had reversed their doubles order, and Tom Taylor and Andy Hickey easily saw off father and son duo Gareth and Tom Miller to make the score 7-2.

That left Alan Nolan and Tom Banton to try to save the day against Matthew Cranny and Robert Barker. This was always going to be a long shot, as Alan and Tom had lost all their singles and Matthew and Robert had won all theirs. However, the home pair got off to a good start, edging the first set by 11-9, but the Formby lads evened it up winning 11-3. The 3rd set narrowly went to Matthew and Robert, 11-9, and they managed to hang on to win the 4th by the same score. Result: 11-9, 3-11, 9-11, 9-11, and a well deserved championship win for two rapidly improving lads.

So congratulations to Formby, and a sincere thank you to them (and their army of supporters) for a match played in a most friendly spirit. We wish you all the best in the 2nd Division!
