HAPPY END TO
FRUSTRATING SEASON
After a disappointing summer caused by the proliferation of clashing club fixtures, the Thursday League season ended on a surprisingly optimistic note last week.
All day rain eased sufficiently for an enjoyable 'crown green' novelty match to be played before members adjourned to the clubhouse for the traditional social get-together and prize presentation.
A superb meal was prepared and served by one of the league's most enthusiastic members, Marnie Owen, before the season's prizes were presented.
Every member received a prize with the top award going to ebbulient Alan Rootes, who rarely missed a match during the 15-week programme.
Joint runners-up were Marnie Owens and Arthur Ormond with Dennis Watkins and Arthur Grimbaldston in close pursuit
The prizes were presented by league organiser Arthur Ormond, who was warmly thanked for his efforts in keeping the league alive under great difficulties by club secretary Bert Barnikel.
He said it has been an enjoyable season despite the diminished number and he was confident the 2002 season would be a better one.
