Burway defeated Hanwood comfortably after winning by 57 at home with 6 winners. Joint captain Russ Davies was best winner 4 with him saying “we had to get off to a good start and we did. The Burway “Mid-Twenties” youth at the front, with me winning 4, Kiah Roberts 6 and Ben Allen just getting the better of Glyn Wellings to put us in a good position as the lads held their own with 21, 19 and 15, so it looked good after 3 games. Then with Wayne Rogers beating Wayne Phillips 6, it set us up further, with Duncan Pressley well to win 14, Kevin Dovey winning 20 and the away lads Mark Rogers and Adam Dovey both winning after a bit down I believe. Very happy with the result overall, all of us where, and as always a pleasure to see the Hanwood guys.” The three winners for Burway away were all 20, with Adam Dovey, Mark Rogers and Jolyon Partridge being the three. Nick Davies was Hanwood’s best at home, winning 7.
