Premier Division

The Lions won the league with a little in hand despite losing 5 matches for the first time in a single season.

Woldingham B struggled at first with the climate but by the end they had beaten both the top team and the runners up and could be a force to reckon with next season.

Kodiaks had an unsettled season but just did enough to fight again.

No Smoke No Fire, let’s hope they get a spark next season.

Divisions 1

The Double 7 maintained dominance throughout the season losing only 4 matches. A fitting season for Sir Les’s farewell.

Positions 2 through to 7 were separated by just 4 points and over 22 matches, that is quite extraordinary.

The runners up were eventually those macho men The Village People

Division 2

This is often a one-horse race; this year it was a 3-horse race with C’mon Son winning by a neck and The Fun Ones taking second place by a nose on the last stride.

Brooklyn Hustlers pulled up lame.

February 9
Les Hills or Sir Les as he is more commonly and affectionately known, has been in this league from the start. He won the second Open Singles back in 1986.

Sir Les has never had a bad word to say about anyone and more importantly no one has a bad word to say about him, he is a true gentleman.

Sir Les is moving from the area in April up to Lighthorne with his wife to be closer to the immediate family.

He will be sorely missed and the Committee along with his teammates from the Double 7 formerly the Ex Services, would like to show our respect and honour him and his time in the league and feel it fitting to rename the Codgers Cup to “The Sir Les Hills Codgers Cup” from next year.

Best wishes Sir Les from the Committee

League Update

The division singles venues are now sorted. A big thank you to Banstead Village Club allowing us to use their facilities despite having no competitors. Also, the Double 7 club have invested in a second table and with new management are happy for us to use their venue.

All teams have now left Brooklyn Bar and Billiards. The Bees have found a temporary venue outside of the area however this will only affect 4 matches and it is a good venue.

Please double check the venues before heading off.

Unfortunately, Brooklyn Hustlers have folded. For all of the second half of the season their fixtures will be treated as byes. The one good thing is that this frees up March 28th for the Village Idiots to play Woldingham A in the postponed game.

The Mixed Doubles date has been swapped with the KO Cup Semi Finals.

Thank you

Good luck Nick

Nick Pool is moving out of the area later this month and we the committee and the league owe him a great debt of gratitude. We wish him all the best for the future.

I have been assured he will be popping back on occasions.

Nick has played in this league well over 20 years, winning promotions and becoming a solid Premier Division player, winning 9 comps along the way, most notably the Open Singles in 2022

Nick has captained and/or been a part of one of the league’s Interleague teams for many, many years. He has also represented Surrey for 20 years as part of the main squad and the seniors, racking up around 400 frames.

In recent years Nick has been an extremely important part of the Committee, along with valuable input at meetings, handing out trophies at presentation night, he also did the weekly rankings and aided competition draws.

Best wishes from the League
