Southport ‘D’ victorious

The juniors of Southport ‘D’ celebrated their win over Formby Holy Trinity ‘C’ in Tuesday’s Gunson Plate final, pictured here with coach and manager, Paul Lunan.

The match was keenly contested, but played in a very friendly atmosphere, and both teams had plenty to smile about afterwards. First Division team Formby HT ‘C’ gave away a [...]

Near end-of-season experience

Two of our teams continued their run of form in the final months of the season. The ‘C’ team ended a dismal season with their joint-second best performance (ignoring an earlier walkover), losing 6-4 at Deyes High to finish bottom of Division 2 with a measly 41 points. In marked contrast the ‘D’ team, consisting [...]

Half way there!

We’ve now reached the mid-season break, and it’s time for the half-year report…starting with the good news.
The D team juniors (plus leader Paul Lunan) are still flying high in Division 3, having dropped only 11 points in their run of 9 straight league wins, and looking as though they could well gain promotion by the [...]

Quick learners, those Argyle youngsters!

It’s only a week since the juniors of Argyle ‘C’ held the ‘old men’ of Southport ‘C’ to a draw in the first round of the Gunson Cup, but they haven’t half improved since then. Last night, with an early start so they could get home to bed at a reasonable hour (school this morning!), [...]

Hats off to the Handicapping committee!

Tonight’s Gunson Cup match between Southport ‘C’ and Argyle ‘C’ (+180pts) finished in a Draw, and will be replayed next Wednesday at Argyle.
Beginning with an advantage of 180 points, the young division 3 team needed to stay within 4 or 5 points per game, on average, of their division 2 opponents to have a chance [...]

‘C’ team struggling

The ‘C’ team finds itself in a completely different league this season, or at least a different Division!
After 3 league matches and the first round of the Anon Cup, the record is not one that stands much scrutiny: played 4, won 0, drawn 0, lost 4. In the league, we have won only 3 sets [...]

Week 1 results – off to a good start!

We’re off! And galloping into the lead is the new junior ‘F’ team, led by Jeff Cummins. Unfortunately, this is a somewhat hollow victory, as the opponents didn’t actually turn up. [Should we claim the points or offer another date? Opinions please?]
Close on their heels is the other team of juniors, the ‘D’ team – [...]
