Well that's it for another season, doesn't it go quickly. Congratulations to the successful teams and sympathy to the relegated ones. Remember "the pleasure of playing is more important than prizes."

DIVISION ONE(6/6 results) WM RACKETEERS CHAMPIONS, RASCALS RUNNERS UP

WM Racketeers B completed their season with a close win at home to Worle Club. Although losing three sets they won by 3 pins and spoilt any chance the Club had of coming third as Rascals completed the season with a 14 - 2 win against Unionist A. Colts moved up a place with a 12 - 4 home win over relegated Hillbillies. Flintstones also had a 12 - 4 home win against Homefield Rangers. Young Lions finished the season with a 12 - 4 home defeat to Langford Rovers while Nomads who finised fourth lost 12 - 4 at Coach house A.

DIVISION TWO(6/6 results) CABOT BITTERMEN CHAMPIONS, BRISTOL STRAGGLERS RUNNERS UP

It was a good job Champions Cabot Bittermen didn't need any more points as they lost 14 - 2 at home to Fraser Lads. Regent Sports tried their best with a 16 - 0 win away to Admirals but it wasn't enough to overtake Bristol Stragglers who although losing at Crown Inn by 3 pins managed to pick up 4 points. Pioneers, in what is probably their last game in the League beat Dropouts 12 - 4 by 4 pins which was the same points as Lord Nelson A lost at home to Anchors. Dropouts and Lord Nelson A are relegated. Churchill Club surprisingly liked the Century Club alley as the beat the home team 14 - 2.

DIVISION THREE(4/4 results) WARRIORS CHAMPIONS, WESTON LEGIONAIRES RUNNERS UP

Boro Arms B were unlucky (the story of their season) to lose by only 4 pins away to Strays but 10 - 6 in points. They finished bottom and are relegated. White Hart Harriers lost 15 - 1 at home to Shepherds Dab Hands beat Crusaders 14 - 2 this week. Cabot Probables won at the Peckers 12-4 but it was not enough to stop them finishing second from bottom, Peckers with the four points won go into third place.

DIVISION FOUR(6/6 results) GINGER MINGERS CHAMPIONS, COACH HOUSE B RUNNERS UP

Congratulations to Earlybirds for their third win of the season. They beat St. Happys 14 - 2 by 7 pins, maybe it's a good sign for next season. Having seen the Perkins Cup final I take back everything I said about Earlybirds low scores this season. Coach House B kept their nerve and finished runners up with an expected 14 - 2 win away to Social Club B. Woodlands CC had a good 14 - 2 home victory over Beer Masters but stayed in third place. Survivors finished fourth after losing 12 - 4 away to Lords of the Manor. Uphill Steamers had a better time this season and ended with a 14 - 2 win against The Queens. Ginger Mingers finish with a win at the Prince of Wales 12-4

Of course the actual ups and downs depend on registrations for next season. Don't forget forms have to be back in this year at the next meeting on 30th April.

The Perkins Cup Final was played at the Lamb Inn, Worle last Saturday and the League would like to thank the Landlord for his hospitality. Mendip Ammers comprehensively beat Worle Club by winning all four sets in a low scoring match, at least it was for Worle Club. By doing so they reversed the final result of last season. By a coincidence Mendip (Saints and Ammers) have been third, second and first in the last three seasons whilst Worle Club have been second, first and now second again. Two successful teams in a League of 50+ teams but this year the Mendips were a hill too high for Worle Club.
