The Kent Veterans doubles were held today at Lordswood PC. The event was not as well attended as in previous years with only 6 teams present.

  • Ivan Russell & Keith Atkinson
  • Corrine Cooter & Trevor Gordon
  • Richard Wenban & Jason Bradley
  • Marya Hooper & Ian Heathcote
  • David & Margaret Baxter
  • Rosemarie Savage & Maureen Milner

The decided format given the numbers was a league of 6 with three games before lunch and two after.

Richard and Jason were in the lead at the break having won all three of their games and everyone else dropping at least one.

After Lunch there was still everything to play for and when the 5th and final round began there were 2 teams on 3 wins from their 4 games played, Jason/Richard and Keith/Ivan who were also level on points !

Keith and Ivan won their final game to 5 which left Richard and Jason needing to beat Trevor and Corrine to 5 to remain level on points and games won.

With the final game sitting at 12-5 to Richard and Jason , Trevor and Corrine picked up a point before losing in the next end 13-6 leaving Keith and Ivan in first place ahead of Richard and Jason by a single point.

David and Margaret Baxter finished in 3rd place , winning 3/ 5 of their games.

Prizes were £80 for 1st , £50 for 2nd and £30 for 3rd place.

The weather was great all day and the games were all played in very good spirit.

Well done to everyone who took part and thanks for making it an enjoyable day.
