Pool B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adderley won their second Pool B title this season after beating Bylet by 4 in a thriller at Meole Brace. Ryan Frost won 10 for them from just 12-9 up, with Chris Stretch adding a 21-17 card from 15-9 down. Bylet had two of their own winners, Ian Sturdy winning 14 from 15-12 up and Joe Dicken winning 11. This meant the Bylet led by 2 after four games off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back four ended up with all four cards having one player on 20 at the same time in an incredibly close finish. Grant Cooper and Cheryl Caswell were 20-15 and 20-4 up respectively for Bylet and Phil Jones and Tom Killen 20-12 and 20-7 up for Adderley. Grant won 17, while Tom came off winning 8 to put Adderley 7 up. Phil Jones then came off winning 14, leaving Connor Whitehall on the green 20-6 down to Cheryl. He then scored two which meant Adderley had won and got 11 to give them victory by 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Tom Killen says it was a “good overall team performance. The front 4 got off to a decent start, with Ryan Frost playing very well, then with the back 4 on Ed Proudlove did well to scramble back to 17 against Grant Cooper and 2 wins at game number 6 and 8 just got us over the line. We are thrilled to retain the pool B title, commiserations to Bylet who played exceptionally well, especially captain Cheryl Caswell.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
