Friendly Winter League: After one of the closest finishes for many years this season’s League champions are Lethbridge and Pop Richardson, who just edged ahead of the much improved Woods and Barnes.

Third place went to Nellis and Simpson. Coates and Carty had a disappointing season but finished well above The Clarkes. The Wooden Spoon went to Groom and Nyhan but Polly and Jamie were very worried in the last game. Well done to all teams after a great season, thanks to all subs and beach.
