Dave Kibble pegs out in the setting sun

Main Event

The lawns were as fast as we have seen at Southwick, only a large handful of enthusiasts finished 3 games on Saturday, with 6 being pegged-down overnight. most of the lawns played well except for the hills the hoops sit on giving problem to those trying to get within a 1-foot running position.

Most memorable event: DHW refusing extra lunch because he was full (well, OK so he'd already had 4 helpings).

The top three entered an advanced one-ball knockout play-off. Chris Sturdy playing the format for the first time did well but could not beat John Davey, who won the right to play DHW (who had started and won a 6th game, but too late for it to count to win the plate outright). DHW won the play-off +3.
