ast
week saw the return of the Webley League where Binton B took on MEB, Home Guard
faced Avenue-RBL and Binton A took on League winners Wilmcote.
At Binton Social Club, both teams had the luxury of fielding 8 shooters. Bill Fleming started superbly for Binton shooting 33, his highest score of the season. Sheila Clarke and Fred Williams shooting for MEB also managed to score 33. Ray Hodgkins started well by getting 4 bulls however the last 3 shots could only find the 4 mark so ended with a solid 32. Kath Williams and Ben Chamberlain also shot steady 32s for their sides. For Binton B, Captain Rob Johnson chipped in with a 31 and Joe Powell equalled his highest League score of 30. Chris Green and Mike Perry both shot 29, Gordon O’nions 28 and Sam Powell 25. Also shooting for MEB, Karl McMillan scored 30, Jan Beattie 29, Oscar Thornton 27 and Captain Gordon Spencer shot 26. After scratching the two lowest scores and adding the handicap of 3 to the Binton team, MEB were victorious by 1 point and now lead the Webley League table.
The match between Home Guard and Avenue-RBL was cancelled as Avenue-RBL could
not field a full team on the evening.
At Wilmcote Social Club, the Wilmcote team hosted Binton A. The visitors started
perfectly when Paul Clingan shot his 5th possible of the season. Andy Smith and
Simon Dale followed for Binton scoring strong 33s. John Maycock kicked Wilmcote
off with 31 before Paul Boazman shot 28 and Brian Adshead shot 30. Following on
for Binton A, Gary Hooper and John Parrott both shot steady 31s and Alan Dyer
managed a good 32. Wilmcote’s newest shooter Andrea Norris shot an impressive 32
which turned out to be the highest score of the night for her team. Wilmcote
finished with 29s from Alan Brookes and Tim Stephens, and Andy Morris could only
manage 31. Returning to shooting after some months off, Michelle Dale shot a
solid 33 before Will Čemis finished things off with 31. Wilmcote had the benefit
of a 4 point handicap but were still 14 points short compared to the Binton
team.
After this round of matches Colin Fulford still leads the Baildam Averages, Paul
Clingan has jumped to second place and Andy Morris is now third.
This week, 24th March, sees the semi-finals of the Thomson Cup where Wilmcote
face Binton A again at the neutral venue of Avenue-RBL and Binton B take on MEB
at the Home Guard Club
